Yes you are right NormK about them not giving a rats about supplying spare parts etc, they want you to throw away what you are using and go buy something new, they don't make any money from us dinosaurs still repairing and using ancient Victa 2 strokes..lol Maybe that was their plan with those loose fitting replacement Victa air filters? Let the buggers use them until it eventually kills their 2 strokes and then they can go and buy a new Victa with a B&S bugger engine on it? LOL!
But for the record, I did notice that Bunnings did remove the short air filter just weeks after I had returned the item and complained. I'm not sure but I think they still stock the Victa long air filter? Not too sure but I think I seen some hanging there somewhere. I didn't look to closely. I sometimes still just buy the Victa blades as they still sell them at Bunnings. I wonder why they still sell the blades for the old Victa's? Do the current new Victa mowers with 4 stroke engines on them still use the same blades?
Yes Mowerfreak I agree and these new aftermarket ones I now get on ebay actually fit about as good as the original blue ended Aussie made Victa ones used to, and I also get the foam rings to sit underneath the air filter for extra dust protection from getting in under the air filter. I guess it helps as I do mow in sometimes very dusty dry conditions around here.
Cheers!
