Just joined the forum after buying a non-working Ransomes 16 inch reel mower. Not sure of the model, but looks like a Victa Imperial with a tacumseh engine. Cleaned the carb, added fuel and started on second pull.... happy. I have a few questions. Is there ae manual for this model? There are no chain tensioners and seemingly no means of adding any - am I missing something here? The fuel line seems like a bodge job - surely it should not be hanging freely like that? I need a couple of spares - any thoughts on the bolt etc to attach the chain cover and a hinge flap for the grass defelector plate? Finally, it did cut the grass, but the land roller drives really quickly - exceptionally brisk walk - is it just a case of turning the throttle down, or are you meant to run at full throttle and try to catch up with it !
