OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines engine cover spacers

I have cleaned up a victa utility as picture an sometime during the re assemble I have misplaced the spacers for between the cooling cowl an the engine cover/fuel tank. so now when I screw the cover down the blots are going through cooling cowl an jamming up the flywheel fins. does anyone know where I can buy these from or what they would be list as on ebay if on there at all. I have other mowers with them but I need them for the mowers there on haha.
any help would be great wanna get this one finished.

What spacers are you talking of here? I have found all of these that I have taken apart use much shorter scres than most victas and the tank is directly on the metal cowling.

never seen spacers under any of mine except for one (homemade mod')and i never knew why should look like this i'm sure
looks the same tank i think , maybe just wrong screws in yours ? hope it helps

If you could get some pics up under that cowl to show what you are talking about it would really help, to me this sounds like a home mod somewhere in this mowers history when someone had no short bolts, being a side starter, a user raising the dress cowl would not interfere majorly with operation. I certainly cant think of having seen spacers under there on any models ive wirked on.

The underneath an the screws that come out of it:-)

looks the same as one pictured yes . so why they go through and fowl ? doesnt seem to need spacers and none i have needed any as best i can rememeber . it is the same flywheel that it came with ? sorry the pic's a little fuzzy , dont know what happened

Is one of those screws shorter than the other 3 (sort of looks like it here) if so somone has used screws from a series 70 cowling. Shortening those screws or using a couple of washers under each screw would sort your problem....

I dont think one is smaller but ill double check tomorrow an yea washers might work. Will have a good look tomorrow :-)
