MW, I wonder if that adapter plate lets you fit a full crank two stroke onto a four stroke or even a Powertorque Victa base? The SP mower itself would be too valuable to take it off unless it was too far gone.
Yes I've seen a few Victa motors on other bases with the adapter plate Mf.
I don't think mounting the module on the top of the plate will make any difference ,it may be hotter on the top side as heat rises.
Old modules fail, doesn't matter if they are the old 1983 type used on full cranks and powertorques or the later powertorque smaller module.
It should be easy to see if the full crank side pull originally had the small module standard as the small module has one hole but the
earlier module has 2 holes so if the full crank has 2 holes in the alloy it originally had the old big module.
I know all the 1983 Super Starts were still using the old big module.
Cheers
Max.
