OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines S70 Decompressor, Servicing Guide date?

Hello all

Had previously assumed that the Series 70 Decompressor was introduced on the Mark Two engine in the 1971-72 Season.

Have a Pace Premier 160cc Engine # 7 70 2 3311 with Series 70 Mark 1 decals, it seems to be a 1970-71 PREMIER 160 Model 70PA also an additional engine # 7 70 2 4038 with a decompressor.

Does anyone have the publishing or effective dates of Victa Servicing Guides in particular No.79 (attached)

Was the Pace released "early" as a field test etc?

thanks

Mark
