Yeah no good for me either, in Vic!
I have seen a few appear down there, a lot more than NSW?

My twin seemed very powerful when I used it, a lot of people have told me they are gutless, I think it is a personal preference thing.

I word certainly be interested in a Twin what was their reliability like compared to the series 70 donk. (I would think that a series powered 70 utility in their day would have been one of the better industrial units on the market as you used to see almost every council have them.)

Twin was known to overheat in the rear cylinder, a lot of people have told me they are un reliable and high maintenance, Mine only gets fired up every 6 months or so though. I have just taken reciept of the little brother of the twin, it is litterally half the twin motor a single cylinder 85cc. A little work and it will be a great runner

The 85CC very interesting little engine. Not being familiar with the design they looked they ran with an alloy cylinder. Did they have a cast iron sleeve or did the piston run directly into the cylinder like a B&S

I have not had an 85 apart, I did however pull a wrecked 170cc apart a long whole ago, it had a lot of rust inside which could suggest they were sleeved, however I honestly cannot remember. If I see the cylinders from that motor in the next couple of days I will post a definate answer.
