Hi,

The 2nd Victa Mustang VC 160 - Mk IV isnt as good the carbi has the primer on it and thats shot , so i have replaced it with a newer carbi i got hold of not sure how old but i pulled it down and cleaned it and replace the rubber circle flap thing, and tested it on my other mower (above) and its fine .

Now i need to replace the spark plug and the lead, and hopefully it it kick over and be fine .
Just wondering as anybody else had any probs with the engines ? Is there any thing else i should look at to be replaced and or cleaned etc ? any other issues i should know about ?

Finally - Anywbody got or know where i can get hold of a catcher for this mower as the orginal catcher i got with it was , well lets just say only option was the recycling bin .

By the way when i got both these mower they were chocas full of grass and chaff inside the cowling !!!!!! Anyway i cleaned them down and even steamed the engines and now they are looking great , Not really wanting to paint them just want to leave them original , shows character. Both decks are 97% free of rust , tiny bit of surface rust . Got them from a decaced estate and they had lived in the timer shed all there lifes. Not bad for 37 year old mowers smile

Thanks in Advance smile
