I took the carb and muffler off and cleaned them. It seemed to have some compression, so I put it back together... Bodgied up a fuel tank so It was open.... didn't bother with decompressor of complete decoke... Fixed the pull start, it was missing the side spring thing..... Anyway she started 2nd pull, so I let it run slowly as it probably hasn't for for years...... Then mowed the back lawn, not much grass here in Bundy as we are in a drought...... The height adjuster is siezed up , I'll just run it a bit spraying with penetrating fluid, that might loosen it up. And I I can't get the cable and lever, just use it as a push mower. I don't know how the gearbox is either.... I can't think of many things better that getting an old Victa going..... cheers speedy
