Here are my first Victa 18's that I have acquired for my collection. Both Model 5's I believe. They both have letters before the engine numbers, does this mean that they are a later model 5? Possibly 2nd model, not sure. If so do they have any meaning? I mean I have seen on here A, AA, AAA, and now AC. Blumbly or Blue can you explain please. Anyway I am absolutely stoked. I was so excited, that when I finished work, I worked on one immediately. LOL.
I'll upload more pictures soon of the different components. Could you guys help me out on what correct parts I need to properly complete these please.

Here is first: With short snorkle:

So I started working on the Victa with the short snorkle, Took out tank, completely flushed fuel tank, cleaned carburetor, new fuel line, cleaned out tap.

Then I noticed all the wasp nests in the engine cooling fins, so I got to work cleaning them:

After all cleaned, checked for spark, had very strong spark so I left the points alone for now (just wanted to see if it ran), installed new plug. And fired right up!
First Victa 18 I have worked on and I enjoyed every bit of it. Just have to fix fuel tap leak and bowl on carburetor. I think it's a good start to my early collection.
Got some more mowers coming soon I hope. I am soon to pick up an auto soon hopefully, sshh don't tell Jonsey.
