Thanks guys
Bruce I didn't realise you had a shop so will be sure and catch up with you in the near future.
Haven't had a close look at the barrel yet but a skin probably won't do it and conrod has been bent where previous owner removed frozen piston from the bore.
I'll be needing the tin air shroud and muffler as well so I might be better to find a old mower in good nick and just donate the chassis to someoone who wants it. I don't normally like splitting stuff up out of principal if it can be repaired ecconomically.
I have a copy of a victa jet parts list , advertising material and a friend who has a basically brand new used once.
Was going to do this one up showing the young bloke how a 2 stroke works and let him put it together and give it it's first run on a small dinghy as they are safe with no exposed propeller
Glad there is still people interested in the older victas as they rarely wore out and only died through mistreatment with wrong oil and dust in my experience.
Thanks
PS Bruce how oversize can you go with the 125cc to clean it up and was the early 160 just the same barrel bored out? Would numbers off my existing crankcase help determin what year it was an dis there a series guide to g=crankcase numbers somewhere?
