Hello gml

To help members, this is what an Imperial catcher looks like.
A Morrison 16" or Scott Bonnar 690 16" catcher would also fit:-

Hello gml

The Imperial was introduced for the 1968-69 season. At this time
there were no two-stroke versions.

The Imperial - like yours - was introduced for the 1972-73 season
(the 1973 Range). Victa would introduce their special version of the
Series 70 Mark 2 engine to the Imperials. This engine, fitted with the
Mark 2 decompressor, also featured a lower compression (via a head spacer),
and a special version of the G3 carby (the 3-357), that removed the air
vane governor.

I'm not sure of the end date: possibly as early as 1976.

Hope this helps.

G'day gml

I got a Notification that you doubled up on a post.
I can't see that here...

The second machine is an Atco.
I have removed the last three images of the clutch.

Cheers
