OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa Vantage 2 stroke rescued from landfill

Was doing a job on a rural property and saw rear catcher flap of a mower under a pile of junk destined for the tip in the corner of a carport, mower was soon in the boot of my car, said to be a runner before being replaced by rideon many years ago.

Once home a squirt of 2 stroke fuel down the sparkplug hole had it fire up and before long got it running but only at supersonic rpm.Although the revs are very high the motor is sounding perfect and there's no smoke.

Have done a search on ODK and have plenty of Victa Vantage 2 stroke carb posts to sort through but would like to know what model/year this is and what carbie it has.Cannot see any numbers under the grunge, where should I be looking ?

Appears to have not been fiddled with before, owner said it has never had any attention apart from refueling, plenty of wasp and spider activity though and a bit of wire has been wrapped around the spark plug cap to hold it onto the plug. Fuel tank full of grot and a lot of rust on blade carrier and under the deck.
