I mainly clicked on the video for the beautiful dog but the victa was pretty cool. I had a Victa Professional 500 in England. Descent machines

I just LOVE my old 80s Victa POWER Torques. The secret to getting the plastic cowling nice..DW40. JUST spray plastic n wipe. Makes it look great. Spray handles black.

Really enjoyed your videos, hope to see you back again soon?

Can't kill ya P/T (Power Torque) engines awesome work on the rebuilding/repairs Joe Carroll mate awesome job

Good to see I’m not the only bloke with a Sulo bin paint bench 👍

thanks

Good job mate came up well. Your like me and loving the cordless tools. Good job getting to 1000 subscribers. Plenty for the learner to take from this video. Good stuff 👍

I have a few old victas myself. They are great machines cuts long grass even when it's wet and doesn't freaking stall like these new cheap Chinese crap. Long live the 2 stroke Victa

Thanks for the video. I might have a go at my Victa Corvette 300.

Also pays to remove black plastic carby intake manifold and only two screws. As O ring inside also O ring outside and high revs if perished. Inside one easily replaced from an O ring kit as small diameter. Also pays to check carby seat, as mine had some sort of black gummy restriction. Was it from a rubber tipped aftermarket metal needle that had fitted? Who knows, and when poked wire into aftermarket seat it came out and maybe should have tried to lap it as well being chineseium, haha. But carby cleaner probably just as good an option if had any. Yes, using original carby cover/needle/seat if primer bulb intact a wise move. Just replaced pistons in one that am working on and not even mine, but still not running smoothly so maybe aftermarket needle sticking in aftermarket seat. But if worn also likes to flood, so float travel has to be inspected. Also check plastic governor port if hose been disconnected for a while, as tiny mud wasps like to build in every little orifice around here. Also pays to remove on a teardown as outlet tube easily broken. Magneto can be gapped with a business card and if any freeplay in flywheel pays to fit thick washer to simulate base plate and nut. Turn flywheel by hand to observe spark from grounded spark plug fitted every time passes magnet. Like the paint job and something worth considering if ever get one to refurbish for sale. Now that know my way around these mowers thanks to a neighbour friend. Did he wreck the pistons in two motors by not mixing fuel properly or was the carby sucking air from worn inlet manifold O ring causing it to over rev or overheat ? Something i will probably never know at this stage of the game.

Very knowledgeable, it is hard to find videos on 2 stroke mowers, would be realy good if you could show in close up detail how to rebuild a 2 stroke carburettor and how to just clean one.

Powertorque motor: the greatest lawn mower engine ever made, let down by cheap carburetors! Still, I found a new one at a mower shop the other week and had to have it... Congrats on the 1000 subscribers, great to see your little assistant having fun with it all.

What did you use to clean the carburettor parts? This is so helpful, I found a Victa Power Torque on the grass verge the other day and want to fix it up for myself.

Hi mate! i have old victa 160cc but i can't turn on engine.I checked spark plug and ignition.They are working.I have put special oil to the fuel.What could be main reason? Help me pls

I am sooooo impressed! One day Id love to completely recondition dad's old mower. Great video. I'm a 57yo lady with a Victa Mustang 18, very similar to the one featured. I learned how to change spark plug, remove and clean my carby (still awaiting new parts), but it was enough to get my dads mower to start after 10 years. My problem is the thing starts after many pulls but then conks out very quickly. Any tips? Thanks so much!

Great video and really helpful in seeing how they go together. I was surprised how basic they are like off comes the pull starter and there is the conrod simple. I think the carb is the most complex thing on it. Where do you get parts from for them? Thanks.

hi I have a issue where this vitca will die out if it's tilted one side only like on a hill gives a really high rev before dies out slowly, doesn't happen on the other side tilted of the mower, if I level back it will start up before it slowly dies out.. I tried pumping the primer when it's tilted and dying out but doesn't change anything unless it's level

That's a very early PT and it continues to power through the grass. I was in year 7 when that was made. A pity the bodies collapse around them.

Good job. I've never really got my hands on a Victa 2 stroke to learn anything so this was really interesting. I used to have a Scott Bonner reel mower but my Victa 4 stroke is more practical. My cousin's got a Victa VC160 he's trying to restore ATM. It's had a new piston & rings etc but he can't get it started cos he says the coil is stuffed and they're no longer available. Would you have one for sale or would it be better to fit one of those ignition modules?

recon in a paint can

What's the difference with the power torque and the vantage 2 stroke?

I been watching lately and have been enjoying your videos.. when you cleaned the coil you test it? what Ohm range is recommended and what range makes it dead i have one showing 15.01ohm

Also how do you change the HT Lead on the coil as mine has split or been cut.

Nice Video. Great to see another old Vic back in commission. Have you tried rubbing tinfoil on the chrome? I have managed to shine up a few old victa handlebars this way.

old bikers trick... aluminium foil and water will easily remove rust on chrome without affecting the chrome finish at all
