Hupy, I swapped the Victor to a friend for a 350 Gold Star and a stack of money. The dealer sold 3 '68 Victor Specials of which mine was one. Each of the three wanted a different technique to crank.. and it would raise you right back up in the air if you got it wrong. It was a lovely old thumper though, low end torque for days. Leaked 3 different weights of oil, like an old Harley if there wasn't a puddle under it you needed to add some oil. It was, however, the only scoot I've owned that would let you plant your heels halfway up the side of the gravel pit and stop, and then goose it and climb on up from a stop - shooting dirt every time it fires. And then load Paula and a suitcase and ride I 65 from Montgomery to the Redneck Riviera. A replacement would send me looking for a way to haul it and the toad behind my GMC. These old scoots will make you appreciate a properly working distributor when cranking the GMC.

DOR Tip: I had a '57 Harley which would put you in the next county if you forgot the spark retard when you cranked it.
