Hello Gureno,

I know one tenth of nix on reel type mowers, but do know that my Victa 160 that had been sitting for months outside -but sheltered, wouldn't give me a peep until I rubbed the points down with some finer grade sandpaper and regapped them. Fires up again like before now.

There was a recent thread discussing how to test the coil and what readings you should get in ohms of resistance to indicate whether it's ok or not.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
