Hi guys my mother has given up on her Victa powertorque mower and i thought i would try and get it going.

First i noticed that there was no gasket between the head and the motor so i replaced that.

I then noticed a slow leak from the carby i pulled the carby apart gave it a clean put a new needle in it and replaced the primer button/cap.

All good until i went to start it. I primed it ( but it didnt feel like it was doing much) gave it a pull and it runs for about 5 seconds then stops. Any ideas.
