Hi Bruce,
I am planning on servicing my grandfather?s victa, it has not been started for about 5 years. My father had the motor rebuilt about 6 years ago. From what I remember it still had the following problems:
* It seemed to starve for fuel. From my earliest memory of this mower (25 odd years ago) the fuel system/carby has been temperamental ... it seems to have the original setup from the pictures I have seen on the victa site 'http://www.victa.com.au/files/a18a19.pdf'
* The metal fuel tank weeps at the seam (top and bottom part join).
* The fuel tap cork no longer seals
* The starter bowl on the flywheel (I think that is the name of it?) was slipping stopping the ripcord from turning it over.
Any hints suggestions before I embark would be much appreciated.
Thanks
James
