I am an avid junk collector, I have played with small engines for many years trying to resurrect what others have left behind.
Will this old 2 stroke Victa run again? Let’s find out!
Yes it still needs some finishing off, she’s either running lean or has an air leak. This one will be revisited.

The masport has turned into a nice banger mower, it runs well, does a smooth cut but has had a long life. The Honda still needs a little tlc but is coming along well…. Find us on Facebook: junkyarddog877?mibextid=LQQJ4d

An old Victa utility bought at a garage sale for $10 will it run? The guy I got it off says his dad rebuilt it over 20 years ago, it had a little use and got put away, going by the age of the guy that sold it to me I don’t think it would have been possible to ask his dad about it. Enjoy anyways peps!

Thanks for the help, by watching you fix the Masport... I was able to fix my one and now it start first pull first time I've played with a motor of any sort. Cheers Justin
Good job mate I’ve only started working on these So far I’ve got two to run but seems like air gets in as it revs it’s guts out then stalls. Not getting enough fuel I suspect and air coming in is the culprit, you think so?
U do the lawnmower good and hard huh
a lovely Chainsaw Joe mate and it looks like one from the 1960s from my view maybe the 1970s.
she looks lovely Joe mate you cannot go wrong with Quality Briggs and Stratton motors and luckily those ones are easy to work on for sure and the newer ones are a prick for some people from memory too.
Can you show us a picture how you connected the stop/start arm and spring to the carbs? I couldn't quite see.
Awesome work Joe mate and yep no kidding the piston and rings were fried like a burnt bit of toast however funnily you cannot put butter on that one though but yeah luckily the rest was salvageable as a good bonus and yep the blades too yep like pair of mushroomed leaves to me.
Great to see you back Joe! I too was wondering about the pup, glad to see she is well and bouncing.
everything was red - red lol 🔥‼️

Nice video. I have an identical engine on a utility. If you wire brush the crankshaft thread before you undo the nut you don’t damage the thread and it comes of easily. Regards
As an American, I've always wondered why Austrailian lawn mowers have pivoting blades mounted on a center wheel as opposed to the flat iron, bar-shaped blade like mowers here have. I wonder what the performance difference is between the two designs. I'll be honest that tiny little two stroke mower performed better in that tall grass then my modern Lawn Boy mower did in the same type of grass. I'd love to see a competition between one of these old Victas and an old 2 stroke Lawn Boy. The old ones with the offset front wheel.
I was just given a mower with an old gv400 honda engine on it. It had been torn apart more than a decade ago due to a no spark issue. My local auto parts store can get a set of points for it, but not a coil. I've been looking at the chinese ebay ones. I ended up ordering one of those cheap china ones because an OEM coil is just more expensive than i want to spend on this machine. Tha ks for giving me hope that the cheap coil from ebay might actually work!
Seeing black oil in an aluminium parent-bore engine is always disheartening...
another one saved👍
i didnt skip the ads
what does nothing good start in??

I think you dragged this one out to the car the other week 🥰

Nice Victa 4 stroke mate.....I have a Victa Lawnkeeper with a Tecumseh mower thats still powering on but I love my 2 strokes.
Nice to see you around again. Those B&S side valves are great...they just keep going with minimal maintenance required. My LawnKeeper is still going great after 20 odd years but the deck has rusted out now in the usual place near the left handle mount.
I've never seen a crank snapped off like that, otherwise a good day at the tip
grouse work mate and yep horrible life factor when people don,t put oil in their fuel for the mixture and yep removing the muffler/exhaust is a key way to peek through without pulling the motor apart for sure like a Chainsaw for sure and according to Donyboy73 that is yep he has videos on those ones by comparison too and i hope the green one has something very minor with it etc.
I've found partial blockages in the tank pickup tube restricting flow
Good to see you back mate....Nice job on the Victa Vantage..Great Blue colour.
Good video mate.. the Briggs runs good now.. have a good day
Yeah I did a video on fitting an oil seal on the governor.. it stopped the leak for me
It’s not leaking after a long run, gotta look at big picture things with where I get my stuff from, it could have been on its side, the oil was probably watered down with petrol from running so rich, there may be a small weep that shows up over time but it was dry after the second yard I finished with it earlier.
It's always the Govenor shaft on the GCV engines. I've got 3 that are leaking still
Good Score 👍
Good to see you making more videos you should try and get some more vortexes on the channel
good scores mate and yep that Honda Mower engine looks like a good one and yep a air filter replacement should fix that one up for sure and as for that original Briggs and Stratton 3.5HP (Horse Power) engine with the snapped crankshaft yep funny how people drill start theirs but yeah luckily do they know it,s a increased risk of snapping the crankshaft for sure and i always pull start than drill start as it makes all the difference for sure and even the ones normally at the upper handlebars for shoulder pull starting yep a optional one too etc.
Thank you for this video
she,s a bloody ripper mate that,s a Golden Gem plus even the old Ford Tractors from the 1940s from memory were a decent type from what i can gather too.
Just bought the same style of cement mixer. Motor looks the same. Best $50 I've spent. Thanks for sharing this content, Joe. It's very useful.
Have you seen the subtitles to this video?? Absolutely ridiculous. They don’t make sense at all. Check yourself, mate.
Hi, I have the same edger, do you know the model that this is?
Great mechanic
Joe mate that,s a grouse as Chainsaw you got at the collectors paradise for sure plus nothing made in China then for sure i hope your well too.
Have you checked the valve clearances on this old machine?
El video del desarme y armado g400 por favor

I've been looking for Part 2. Is there a Part 2?
Every single one of those two stroke mowers should be saved. The 4 stroke ones usually lack the torque for the thick australian grass which is very annoying. Some wer good though, like the Kirby Tecumsehs or the 1980s Briggs on the Rover mowers, but other than that it´s victa two strokes all the way!
Dad use to call them old victa mowers toecutters 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy your video's Joe, a Honda GCV engine in a Victa Chassis is a nice lite combination, even better in a 19" Victa.
grouse as mowers Joe mate these version of Honda,s are the better version compared to the newer ones which are classified mainly as Chonda builds etc.
grouse car off the production line assembly i reckon Joe mate and yep some people have no respect on how to treat their car and yep if i had one personally i,d keep it clean for sure no kidding.
theres nothing like hearing an old victa roar into life for the first time i have had that pleasure a few times
