Hi Dave, Joe Carroll or one of the Victa guys here will be able to advise on whether the cowlings are the same for that version of the Mustang...I once had a VC Sports that had the same white cowling as yours...It too, came to a sad end, the cowling was severely cracked!

If the starter cup is worn, it would be a good idea to replace it.....I am sure Joe will jump in here re the decomp valve.

thanks deejay , the cup is ordered just wiating now i'll strip it down on the weekend though and see what else it needs . do you know if they have old style rubber snorkel or the newer type ? hahaha this seems to have both !! and i dont like to hurry it too much or i could pull the cup from another , a tad light on for wrecks yet , still a little new here so not many spares yet .. Dave

Defintately a vc sports cowling, in the meantime, if you gently pull the rope until it begins to catch on the starter cup then reef it, it will generally work somewhat better.

tried that too , reef it and it slips though , but thanks for the try the twin is the same too turned the pawls around for a better bite but too worn i think . guess i just wait now till bits lob . do you know the colour of the 'S' by the way ? would it be red or orange or maybe gold ?! too faded to tell

sorry guys , would you like to close this ? just read the other post and seems this is dragging on a tad !! but the last green one blumby posted of the sports was the closest to this on i think , mine's all stripped and waiting for paint and parts now , cheers Dave

No worries mate I will close it now.

Thanks for that Joe, but I just wanted to remind Dave to post some pics of his machine when it is completed, It will be good for the archives, as it is an unusual model of the VC.
