Hi Blue,

Yes your starter is missing the 2 pawls , manual here but it doesn't show the pawls https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.a...ename/victa_workshop_manual_05_c1964.pdf

I have purchased some pawls before from eBay but sometimes they are missing because the alloy part that they slot
into is worn out and when that happens the pawls fall out ,so there is no point buying pawls if you need the alloy part
as well.

It's usually cheaper to buy another mower with a good starter than to buy the starter from eBay.

Cheers
Max.
