OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Thread Like Summary - Masport Ironhorse 2 Stroke

Hello members

Spotted this Masport President for sale as a non runner, contacted the seller, did a deal and jumped in the car to collect. What a surprise I got on arrival, I didn't even contemplate that it might be a 2 Stroke, only ever seen 4 strokes on Masports of that era. Have other members seen many of these ? I'm guessing they may have been introduced to compete with the Victa VSX 160's ?.
After fixing the things that should not have been touched by the son of the original owner and putting some fresh 2 stroke in the tank that wasn't the same colour as the deck it's running and a powerful unit but runs quiet at 75db, same as the 4 stroke Masport and same as Victa VSX 160.

Cheers

G'day Mystyler,

Yep ,cost-cutting,substandard parts can be the Chinese way for mass production.
