Hi grumpy, not hard to get the opposite fin seeing there are 20, well its done and I will try it tomorrow night and if it works good, if it doesn't of with the blades and try again. there was no problem with this disk and blades on the old 125. Yes after pulling one of those plastic carbys apart yesterday for the hell of it , strange sense of humor is not the description I would use, a demented nut case I think would be more like it but they did work!, I only wanted the throttle cable. The motor that it was on squeaked when you turned it, it was another refugee of the flood here on Dec 9th and was still full of water as were all 4 of these that I collected 2 of which are now going very well, One of them (Grass catcher) I just slipped the barrel off and upended it and tipped the water out and bolted it together again, cleaned and reset the points and emptied the water out of the carby and went and mowed all of my grass and it is a ripper,starts first pull. the other one that you helped me with, got new seals and a blowout and it goes ok as well but doesn't pull as well as the other one so as soon as funds permit I will get from the online shop a reco barrel and piston and put that on the third motor which is a late 160 and take the 2nd 160 thats down a bit off to use for a totally non mower application and put the new one in its place on the toe cutter for the long grass with a piece of conveyer belting across the back to stop rocks clobbering me in the rough stuff then I better stop collecting them and melt down all the scrap alloy to use in the workshop, stack the wheels and axles in a corner for who knows what and relax for a while after learning a lot about Victas and 2 strokes and get a fixed throttle setup going for another project , the 4th motor and all the squeaky bits in a box in the back shed, above the water line for who knows what. Will let you know the outcome of the self adjusting height adjuster.
Many thanks,
Don....
