OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions on Other Engines Help identify this Qualcast Suffolk

Hello midget98, Sir Chook and all,

Thanks for that info midget98.

It may be that, under the Qualcast Group, this machine may have been branded as a Qualcast,
rather than a Suffolk (in later years). This may explain the handle-mounted tank, rather than the
engine-mounted tank, as midget98 and Sir Chook have observed.

In any case, the tank is not original even if the fixture point is.
If a Colt, the tank was added after the horse bolted

I can identify the fuel tank as an add-on - from a Kirby 4-stroke.



It may be that these handle-mounted tanks suffered from corrosion or age.
Here's one (another model) that has a replacement metal Victa tank replaced by a plastic Victa tank (I think).
That's desperation...




All very interesting.
