I also got a mark 4 mustang but couldn't be bothered putting the cowling back on for a photo. I take all of the rare plastic parts on a safer spot when I'm buying these older mowers.
Then the group of manuals from England arrived shortly after I got home.
I also picked up a bitsa 80's series power torque for $10 when I got the white mustang on Wednesday. That night I removed all of the plastic cowling, guards and fuel tank. I covered the fuel inlet to the carby and went to town on it with degreasers and carby cleaner and then washed everything with car was.
I woke up at 6AM and was all anxious waiting to get the VC125, so I put the bitza back together, I replaced the fuel line from the tank to the carby, cleaned the original spark plug that was in it at the wreckers, put some carby cleaner in the spark plug hole with a very very small amount of fresh 2-stroke and turned the engine over a few times and then the same but whilst the mower was on its side to drain the extra fuel and cleaner. I left it for 5 minutes without a spark plug in and then pop the plug back in, put fuel in the tank and 3 goes and it started to cough and splutter and kicked off! Blew some smoke but quickly started running fine. When I got home from picking up the 2 mowers today I decided to mowed my nature strip with this power torque bitsa. Ran like new......
