"I just don't want to be mixing petrol and oil" is all they can say.
G'day Mowerfreak and Tyler,
It's funny you mention that Tyler, when I was last at the Victa Gold dealer getting some parts for the Victa a younger mechanic in the shop said to me the exact same thing "Oh I can't be bothered mixing oil with fuel, it's easier to just use a 4 stroke". I think nowadays alot of people must be thinking the same thing as this younger mechanic and the general public.
Those Sanli mowers are garbage, I think I may have seen them on sale at K-mart some years ago. They had one on display and it looked like people had started to take bits off the display model in the store! lol
I drove past a Cash Converters store the other day, and it looked like they had a couple of these style mowers second hand for sale at the front of the store...lol I think they end up at Cash Converters if they still work, and if not they end up at your local tip...lol
Speaking of good old Victa 2 strokes, the other day I was driving down a main road and I spotted someone mowing the nature strip with a good old Victa 2 stroke powertorque! I wound down my window so I could hear that legendary machine doing it's work! Yes it's becoming a rare thing to see someone mowing with a 2 stroke mower these days.
Cheers!
