Happy with these.

Presume this must be a store-bought? 160 Premier. No blade plate. Can't see a 'Victa' decal.

Series Seventy 160. Seems sound. Would like to put a fullcrank side yank and a remote tank on this. Don't know where to source a tank though.

The 70 Series Corvette seems in good condition, but don't know how the starter works. Never get any catchers. frown

5710945 and a 'lazy' eight up top?

Any further ID and other info on them would be very interesting.

Cheers.

Nice little haul mate...Dont know much about these modern ones lols. Cowls caught my eye... Its interesting they'd call a ute a "Premier, so Id reakon your spot on it being a generic/storebrand.

Hey ,
id almost say the "premier" is a bitsa im almost certain those engines came out on alloy catcher bodys.
the corvette looks good all original starters are quiet easy to use push lever on side in fold out handle wind up clockwise, fold handle back over and pull lever out and thats it ! if it fails to operate id be suspecting that the spring has broken beware keep hands clear of the handle when you release the lever as they sometimes spin with the engine if the brake band is loose

"Modern ones" ha ha.

Yeah I was thinking the 'Premier' may be a bitsa but the cowl and base colour are so alike.
The Corvette does seem original. Good to learn about the starter. I can remember folk having them when I was a kid, but never used one.
