G'day everyone,
Thanks for the information on this exact model and features Mr Davis. Yes Mowerfreak my other VC-160 must be the later model as it has the plastic toothed height adjuster even though it's missing one tooth, it still works ok.
I had another quick look at this VC160 scrap find today and I noticed as I tried the pull starter gees this thing has a ton of compression for an old mower. Then I had a look underneath the top metal cowl and as I assumed there is no decompressor there and a spark plug has been put in it's place. They also just cut the plastic vacuum line and just put a screw in to block it off near the carby.
As for cutting height, I think it's way too low and the deck is slightly scrubbing on the ground where they have left it. Maybe if I try and chuck some original Victa wheels on this thing it might raise it up a little.
Cheers!
