i have a few of these and they are great little engines. apart from leaking oil out of the breather down onto the exhaust i cant fault them. is yours an old vertical pull one and what color (being victa ide guess white id its an oldie or black if its later.
hope the recco goes well, ive done a few of them in the past and have a real good manual that features them so if you need specific help i may be able to sheed some light on it.
