Which one would you prefer to push .............................................. the old 2strokes weigh next to nothing. I rekcon they'll be close to 8hp given 5hp 4strokes lawn mowers I've tried.

A quality 4stroke is obviously far far better if you are someone that keeps your grass in good order and only need a "normal" sized hand mower :) (easier starting, quieter, far more fuel efficient).

Actually ... diesel wins ... My ****ty old tractor is the best mower of the lot. It cuts 2.25metres at a time and seems to use less fuel than the 2stroke hand mower!

I wonder what the cross-over is,,,
did they ever make 18HP Vtwin 2strokes? (thinking kholer engined deck mowers)

I have seen a twin cylinder Victa mower in the past ..... I didn't realise they had built such a beast.... Should I have purchased it and fitted the motor to the super 600 [biggrin]

You actually don't need a bigger motor. I know the super 600s look ridiculous ... but that little 2stroke has the grunt to cut anything you can drop/push that cutter deck onto. There is probably a substantial belt reduction down to the cutter deck to multiply the torque that little 2stroke is punching out.

You can buy the parts off of ebay.

Hi. The top or bottom main bearing in probably worn & that has worn the seal so it will be sucking air in & will not back off. You may get away with 2 new seals.

thansk guys,

I need to chase up a new diaphragm cover and go from there. It must be the issue as I found it's come away and I've lost the spring when I tried to cut around the carport a few nights ago .... I love making life easy for myself ........ :) So now I need to buy a diaphragm cover and spring ... and probably top and bottle seals as suggested.
