Hi lads,
As I continue reading into Power Torque motors, getting my hands on them and reading specs for various Victa mowers that were powered by these engines, it seems they're not all the same.
VS160, VSX160, VE50...what's the difference? Power Torque 2? Some have more power than others but they look pretty much the same.
Differences I've noticed have been plain mufflers or ones with Victa embossed on them, fin arrangement on the heads and block, inlet manifold design/size from the carby to the intake port and the size of the intake tubing that is the snorkel.
The last two I can see affecting power levels. I have a Vantage and a Mulch and Catch (two actually, but one is called "The Hulk" and is a parts machine now) and they don't even sound the same running.
Apart from "nicer" features on the Mulch and Catch (Could actually be a late model Commando) such as bigger wheels, different handlebars, mulching blades and disc, more plastic and larger fuel tank, there isn't any "real" differences I can spot between the two. Except of course, for the snorkel and intake differences.
I've searched both on the forum and on the internet generally for actual specs but not having much luck?
I've also come across different coloured float needles and a red spring in the carby? Are these significant? I read here a red spring has a different weight but without context that means nothing to me.
If you know your Power Torque motors, I'm handing you the floor!
Cheers.
