OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa Corvette-2 523 1964.

Going to to a restoration on this mower I picked up and just want to first figure out how to identify it. Anyone know what the 76 is and the 9? photo will not upload but the number is 76 523964

I have got all the engine part soaking in degreaser. What would be the best way to clean them and maybe spray them?

Hi dmitr

7 is the code for what model Victa the engine is for , 65 is the year 1965.

number 23,964 th mower made in that model.


People tell me Blitz Aluminium Cleaner is good for cleaning all the alloy parts.

thanks. I bought degreaser concentrate from Bunnings and left it soaking for three days on a strong mix and it does hardly anything and I don't want to get it soda blasted. Would you know of a degreaser?

hi dmitr,
I spray with degreaser, let it soak in, water blast.
Then use wire wheels on drill.....
post some pics of your progress. cheers

G'day dmitr and speedy

I just mostly use Steelo Scourer ( Steel Wool ) and water on the alloy parts but if your
worried the steel wool is slightly scratching the alloy use a scotch brite pad .

I will give it a go. its all pulled apart now.

looks like I don't have time to be restoring and repainting lawnmowers. I have ordered parts for this one and the utility 160. I will assemble the utility first as that is more of a priority.
