OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Stationary Victa Motor

Hi all. I have a Victa stationary motor and would like to ask a few questions about it.

What model is this? the numbers on the motor are 25690 10 and there is a Y stamped above the number. The piston is rounded, does this mean it is a 125cc? . Also the carby looks like it is off a 160cc, a 3S I think. I have had this motor for about 15 years, got it from the local tip for about $10. I did get it to run back then. I have just cleaned it up a bit
and put a new air filter on it. I will try to get it going but I need to bolt it down for that and i live in a unit with no workshop. I intend to take it to a friends place to try it out. Any help appreciated. Trying to work out how to send photos.

Hello argo

Welcome to these forums.

Unfortunately, the industrial engines numbering system has been lost.
Perhaps the 'Y' may have indicated the equipment manufacturer.

However, we should be able to tell you more with some images.
We have some identifier parts lists here:

Hope this helps.

Thank you jack, I will post photos soon as possible. Your help is appreciated.

OK, here are some pix!

Yes, that does mean it is a 125cc.

Great pictures there for the record argo.
You've done a great job.

The mount is clearly not original to a Victa power unit.
And the cylinder does not have external transfer ports,
suggesting the cylinder has been replaced at some time.

Perhaps a previous tenant made this one from a mower engine...?
It doesn't really matter because this has been a great project.

Thanks Jack, it was a mess when I got it at the tip. I have added wheels and extended the handle since I posted. I have checked the timing and spark plug with info from this forum.

It took ages to clean it up, tried to save the petrol tank original colour but it was too far gone, saved the cooling shroud though, it looks like the original to me.

How about the carby?, is it a 125cc unit, it has the twin lines around the top and I think this means 160cc, not sure though. Thanks for the replies Jack

Hello argo

I'm no Victa expert, but Service Guide No 55 may be of interest.

The closest I can see to your engine was the MK 7 Industrial (from link
supplied in previous post). This had a MK4 (industrial) Victa carby.
It would appear that most horizontal shaft Victa Industrial engines
used Amal carbies (not Victa). If a Victa carby was used it was the MK4.
I hope that's right.

It is a real credit to you that you saved this one from the heap.

Thanks jack, i have downloaded all the links you have provided, very helpful. I will be reading them all.
I have a Victa 18 (I think) in the garage and it will be next. I will post as I go for that one. Now I am up and running i will try and post more. I was lucky to have advice and help from the Forum Historian!

Thanks mate
