I am indeed sideways_505 from Aussiefrogs! :D I barely ever go on there anymore though, the Suzukis have somewhat taken over my life. Who are you and what car(s) do you have? :thumbsup: :cheers2: I am 406bliss but no longer have my 406 or 306 and am driving a 2005 607 6 speed V6. Underrated...

Hi there fellow educator, I've done this with a class and used mainly Azusa and other parts readily available in your USA. Have a look at our blog page as there is lots of useful links and info for exactly what you are trying to do. http://www.victaproject.blogspot.com.au/

Ok thanks, I'll give that a try. I have that picture but with most things electronic I a have never had an affinity and since it only shows the plug wire and one other (not the two) I thought that the earth wire had to stay in place. So I guess I'll just tape it up so it cant touch anything. We...

Has anyone fitted a universal module to their points based 2 stroke ? I have posted 2 pics. I can't quite see why it will not kick over ? Any ideas. the 3rd wire goes out to a kill switch.

There are some pics and links on my blog that might help you. http://www.victaproject.blogspot.com Have a look at the earlier posts and links to companies like Azusa. I have an axle sprocket and wheels that would suit for sale but I'm in Sydney. Australia.

Some new pics with the slide type carby Q3 running the Victa go-kart on a little road test. http://www.victaproject.blogspot.com/ OR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23UkOjg5E64

I'm not sure exactly what a powertorque is ? If thats the half crank one then its probably a cheap/scrap secondhand option from my guy. However I have seen some good secondhand full crank 160cc like mine going for under 100 dollars i think. I have posted the video on the blog and youtube now...

Q3 test Alright, Well the old Q3 slide type carby is now clean. It had a blocked jet and was a mess. Once I got the mesh filter off and we got the nut and jet out it was plain sailing. (thankyou my local mower-man friend) The Venturi size is the same as in the G3 and I will fit and run it...

Not really.. Have you seen that tube and filter housing ?

Hi there diyers, We are upgrading to slicks etc for some track runs now that we are confident that our kart seems to work well and so can offer for sale some items that can be seen in the blog. http://www.victaproject.blogspot.com/ The items are the front wheels incl. bearings 5/8" i.d. The...

victa test I ran the Victa in free air today and put my electronic timing device on it. As Sideways says the revs improved with the snorkel removed. It went from 4200rpm to 5700 with no filter/tube. So I'll be getting something just hooked onto the carby directly and picking up speed on the...

Thanks Thanks for your comments people, I'm not sure which mower it was there is a picture in he first post. A mower expert probably knows. As for the rear bar I will be adding something for its first track visit.;)

Castor angle You need about 10 deg. Castor to lift the inside rear when cornering. You are also sitting/engine over each rear wheel. Doesn't look like you have any castor..?..

Quick question, On my Victa 160cc 2 stroke is the fan and shroud from when it was a mower. http://www.victaproject.blogspot.com/ Being that it is mounted right behind the seat would it be a problem to remove the fan blades (smooth machined flywheel) and shroud ? Would the cooling still be...

postage It was expensive... The larger and heavier the parts the worse it got. I kept the parts to a min. As the freight doubled the cost or more in some scenarios. If you go on to the Us postal service site you can do an estimate scenario. These seemed about right and it is who Azusa uses...
