G'day Seanw..
Personally I think the 2 stroke engine is the easiest engine to work on out of the two hands down ,being so simple in design and putting out more hp than a 4 stroke of the same cc...
Ultimately I feel it falls more down to pride when someone says give me a Victa 2 stroke any day.. Are Victa 2 strokes better and/or more fuel efficient than a briggs or as refined as a Honda? I don't think so more like cranky loud and blow smoke!... But what they do have going for them is pride!...Pride in an Aussie made product that will still be cutting grass in how many decades later? as long as no one straight gases it that is ,who has time to mix oil in fuel nowadays (apparently being such a big job and all?)...

Of course none of this applies to the new age throw away society, if it needs new blades throw it to the tip and buy a new one to easy!..The future will be old men telling their grandkids about the good old days when we made our own Victa 2 strokes here in Australia of course they will say what's a two stroke? and your crazy grandpa! haha.....
