I picked up a fairly new Victa LawnKeeper V40 that someone had put out for rubbish collection. Apart from broken pull cord there was no apparent damage to it.

I repaird the cord and after about 10 pulls she started, blowing black smoke and coughing a bit before turning off again..

Its very hard to start and even if it does it turns off after only a few seconds of running. Does anyone know what the most common issue with these mowers is?

Cheers
