Hi
I have brought a corvette 4 but dont pick it up till tuesday night. Iam wondering are they still easy to come by? This one has original catcher an rear chute.

Also are the engines a briggs an stratton?
Any help would be great :-)

I'm assuming youre talking about one of the old Corvette 4's. i believe they're kirby tecumseh's but i'm no expert on the older stuff. I'm sure one of the pro's will be able to help you out there.
I'm pretty sure i've seen an older post on the older models, i'll try and dig it up and get back to you.

Yea sorry the older corvette 4. An yea your probaly right about it being kirby.
Yea if you could find that post that would be geat :-)

Yes Nathan there doesn't seem to be to many around. I still haven't found one yet myself. It does depend on which model of course. I will wait until you pick it up and post some pictures of it,but if it is model I'm thinking it could then no there not to common.

Is it the same as the one in this tread?If so yes they are getting very hard to find.

No its deferent I have a pic of it but I havnt got it home. Ill.post the pic I have

It has a rear side throw chute an a catcher for it

Nice mower nathan, id love to work on one of those havn't seen one but will keep my eye out.cheers

Was that on eBay with a few others? It looks familiar.

Yea sure was its only 15 mins from me :-) are there many of these still kicking or parts?

No I haven't seen many at all.In-fact when it comes to the Corvette 4's they are very thin on the ground (as the saying goes).
Here is some information for you,and well done I still haven't been able to find one myself.So if you lose interest in it give me a yell.

So it should have a VL30L4386 engine on it,and you can see all the other bits there.

Thanks ill read through that soon :-)

Jeffrey this corvette mower also explains the toothed flywheel from your wanted add briggs like side starter!

think they did a key start also.

Yes your right Tomo I believe that these were made for the electric start.There was a flywheel that didn't have the teeth but they didn't go on a lot of models.I guess whenever and whoever ordered them just thought it was easier just to go with the one that did both jobs.

The Old Tecumseh you got in the kerbside pick up also has a flywheel with teeth...for the pull start gear to engage on....

You might be right.I haven't even got to that one yet.I should as I'm only going to wreck it out.I have no interest in it.

The fly wheel teeth they would directly engage with the pull starter yea??

yeah on your model , i have a corvette 4 with a kirby engine but had the impulse starter

Yea cause on this one pull starter is straight up n dwn. I have it home now so ill try get some more pics up soon. It should fire up
