OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations SCOTT BONNAR: Model 49 - Blumbly

so have both if there is 2 the same for same machine

I guess maybe due to having a few years run with this model.I really don't know why.

I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced the metal cap with the plastic one because the plastic one worked. The plastic part underneath the metal cap was a pain so the first thing you did was fit the metal cap without it... only (if I remember rightly again) to find the metal cap won't seal properly without the plastic underneath. So the first time you threw the machine around, the fluel sloshing about would start leaking from the cap.

The other small bit of entertainment for me was the pic in post "#68817 - 13/10/15 06:47 PM" above- I think the trigger was slightly different/stubbier on ours (and towards the back, near the fuel cap- yours may be mounted back-to-front). But that photo would have to be a static publicity shot, 'cos if the trigger's at the back then with the handle folded that way (for neatness of course) the black plastic knob actually obstructs the trigger from starting the engine- at least it did on ours!

Who changed the name of this subject it is suppose to be called SCOTT BONNAR: Model 49 in rare finds and donations not (Fual caps cont'd and wind-up starters)(of which Fuel has been spelt wrong).I thought only moderators could change the name.
Pitrack if you go back to the first page and look at entry number 68300 you will see the photos I've added and even though everything is close nothing hits and is all fully functional.You will see in the first photos I posted that the starter trigger was at the front.That was how I found it,thinking that everything would hit each,but after I turned it all around I found that all was good.So I don't know why someone turned it the other way round.

The subject is still as you described Blumbly. It hasn't changed.
The individual post was manually renamed by Patric by clicking on the 'Reply' button [try it!]

Only moderators can rename the title to a post.
I have renamed the particular post to conform with the title.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Blumbly,

sorry if I upset you by resubjecting (ugh) my post. I was just trying to outline what my post related to, it's standard practice on other forums just to make clear which part of a thread you may be responding to.

Good to hear it (the mower) works.

Apologies for the misspelling, I don't have a spell checker in the editing box on my Android+Firefox device. I do try to proof-read, but things slip through.

Thanks Jack but not the whole topic was changed I changed it back,unless I'm reading it wrong.See if this works I'll take my name from the title and remove the capital letters to make it read Scott Bonnar Model 49.
That appeared to work,now the thread has a different name.
Thanks Patrick I knew that I just didn't know that anyone could change a topic name.

Yes Blumbly

That's how it works.
A user can change the name of their post (thread) but not the name of
the Topic (the series of postings).

It can be a useful feature - in particular circumstances.
Thanks to Patrick for reminding members of this feature.

p.s. I have just changed your post name to reflect the Topic name.

All very topical.

Hi all.. this is my 49er it has a new old stock villiers engine it has a nice soft crisp note to it.. cheers ....

Hello Deviosi

That's incredible!
There must be a story behind a NOS Villiers engine...?
Some great photos there ... of the controversial petrol cap
and the early air cleaner.

Thank you for sharing this.

p.s. I'll move your posts to a new topic, to record your Model 49 separately.
[shortly]

Blumby.... The victa collector, has it hehe I m looking for a metal one it did come with a plactic 1 but it was just to far gone do you source much info from the NLA in canberra

Awesome pictures there deviosi very well done love the fact that you have the original white air cleaner on it.Could I see some more pictures of that...please?
Also interesting note that yours has an extra cover that wraps around the back of the head and mine one doesn't.I've also noticed in the sales brochure that that one doesn't either.Is that a separate plate or is part of the fuel tank/cowl?
I wonder if that was an earlier or even a later model.
I have quite a few Scott Bonnars From a Model 22,35's (4 of those one with a catcher and one has a 4 stroke) Model 48 and 2 model 49's a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke,one catcher for them. So not sure where the Victa collector comes from.
So Victa and Scott Bonnar collector I'd say.

Hi blumby last time i spoke to you (page 3)i had the impression that your collection was 99% victa and 1 scottbonnar 49 sounds like a few more have crept in if you have metal catcher 4 sale or know of any let me know i wll get some more pic's up soon cheers deviosi

Yes this first 49 changed my plans and now the Scott Bonnar wormed it's way into my collection.Yes metal catchers as you know are very hard to find.I was going to talk to someone up here about making new ones,but I have successfully lost that phone number.Bugger.As I was going to get the model 35 catchers redone,I just don't know what I've done with that phone number.I guess the catchers are just as rare as the correct air filter housings.I certainly can't find one of those.

there you go blumby hope this helps the pope in this post has the same air filter housing #45692

there you go blumby hope this helps the pope in this post->>>> #45692 has the same air filter housing

Oh wow the whole underside of the cowl/tank is different.I'll take some photos of mine tomorrow and show the different's,I'm curious to know why they'd be different.Thanks for the photo of the air cleaner don't think I'll ever find one myself.
