Hi Paul and Millzy555, the 2 stroke Victa brought grass cutting to a new level in the 50's/60's when people were now able to cut the long grass that they couldn't before. I love any Victa 2 stroke, amazing piece of design, tough as old boots. Doing what I am doing I am trying to convince as many people as I can to grab one of these 2 strokes before the world forgets what a real mower can do. Because I am flogging these off, not collecting them, the ones I need ( and I would like to find at least another 100 Powertorques at the moment) are any of the full crank G4 carbed or Powertorques. I want the G4/LM carb type because they are such a brilliant design (except for a few sill faults, but these problems can be fixed) and these parts are readily available where the earlier carb bits are too hard to come by. Any mower I sell I always ask how long is the grass you want to cut and often this results in them getting a Victa. I had some 4 stroke mower a while back on Gumtree that looked good and I ended up selling 5 Victas as a result of that ad, was a bit sad when that mower actually sold. The advantage I find with the LM carb is that you can usually start these with one pull and once modified there is nothing much that can go wrong with them. As Paul said the Rovers were for more refined people, tough Aussies used a Victa. And I have removed my ads from Gumtree because I am unable to keep up with demand at the moment, it has just gone crazy over the last few weeks, it is getting too hard to be a hobby at the moment, almost like having to go to work every day
