i have been reading this thread for a couple of days and it is quite interesting. so i have a question what makes an auto/predicta and auto/predicta
Hi Sean,
The Victa 18 Auto is just automatic throttle control ,the front and rear flap control the throttle speed there is no manual throttle control lever on the handle bars.
It was supposed to work like a governor to automatically maintain the rotary speed of an engine ,the longer the grass was the flap controls moved more, pulling on the cables to increase the engine RPM but this system was a flop ,didn't work very well so Victa went back to a manual throttle controller on the handle bars.
