Hi Guys
I tried a screw extractor, I think the screw is wedged in there or corroded or cross threaded or something as the bottom part still stuck and won't turn
In the end I had to drill the top of the screw head and mangaged to get the cowling off without damaging the cowling too much but screw still in there.
I think probably least of my troubles
As recommended above took off the muffler and had a look at the piston, looks pretty scored and I think might be shot ???
I'm going to get a compression tester but I think it's stuffed.
Have a look at the photos
Have you guys even seen a Victa start with a piston this marked?
Thanks
