Hi all
MarkN's comments are interesting, is the carby a G2 and would it be the correct one for that engine year ? In March last year carnut posted pictures of his machine under Victa Mayfair identification. This was the only other picture i have seen of a mower with the same gold metal cowling, front sticker, handle bars, air filter/throttle control body and spring steel plate on the rear flap. The base looks the same but is green and a shame no picture of the underside is there to check if the slot is visible. In the comments on that thread it is mentioned that the original G2 carby has been replaced with a G3 as they were more reliable ? I wouldn't know. Mine came with a plastic catcher bit it appears a metal one would have been the original type. The indication from that thread was that carnuts machine was a Mayfair deluxe 2.
