Hi suebutcher,
I like me some bitzer action on here and it's a two stroke!
I'm not sure the mounting holes will let you flip it's orientation, plus you may have difficulty locating the snorkel properly onto the handlebars. The motor does seem to sit a bit forward, but that is just how they are I think. I have a similar SS I found with the commonly fitted Briggs vertical pull motor. Trouble is no catcher, but an old Rover one stays on, albeit with gaps either side where it attaches.
I don't think those handles would look right flipped over, but whatever works for you.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
