Hi All,
Big thanks for replies..
All my parts are the same as they have always been. Only thing I've done is clean the tank, fuel filter, carby, and de-comp v/v. I have got hold of another 'primer face' or float chamber cover and am just using the primer (original external one chewed at) from the new one with a piece of tube, not sure if it's a genuine so haven't put it on properly as have heard on here they are rubbish.
I think i will try new primer face tonite with original float, needle and jet.
Can't see any hose issues the decomp v/v lets by v v little when tube sucked on and valve seat closes ok.
It is kept in a shed so not out, not the driest shed in the world, but doubt theres any significant water been getting on it.
It's nice to know I have the right poppet v/v as most talk on here is of a white one with the three settings. The needle used to be ok but has faded colour a bit so i wonder if its going soft and sticking in the seat a bit?
The jet tube is well in the jet but clear to blow thruI daren't try and remove it incase it snaps! I have read some good service papers on here from victa via mr Davis and they talk of putting tube in carby body then screwing jet in? so it seats well. Anyone know the score with that?
It's never started first time really but once started it was always good to mow.
I'm convinced its the needle sticking in the seat but it seems ok and free to move and all is clean.
I'll go down and change the face plate and let you all know how it goes or not.
Think I've replied to all your q's.
Very Much obliged to you all :-)
