Captnk, I assure you you can get a Victa to run without a blade disc - I started a 1977 Contessa FC the other day without a disc because I forgot I took it off. Minorly kicked back.
Ran lumpy, but ran
Joe, I also have 2x 125's with regular briggs type shaft (7/8?) no taper - presumably since they were 'power units' being sold to other companies they had to do them
I have been thrown on my backside by a SPFC TAC just by not using a blade - kicked back so hard it broke the rope
