Hi, I'm new to this forum and find some very interesting reading.
However, I have a problem with my Victa, which I think is a Utility Pro.
I had it many years and it has been reliable for the light work it gets every so often. A couple of weeks ago it stopped dead just as I finished my cutting.
I suspected an electrical failure so I took the cowl and flywheel off for inspection. The points looked a bit dull, so I gave them a light clean with fine emery paper. I put my multi-meter across the coil and got only 0.8 ohm. I would have thought it should be much higher resistance but I have nothing to go on.
So my questions are before buying new parts are:
Has the coil failed and needs replacing?
Should I install the electronic an ignition kit to replace the old points while I'm at it?
Should I refurbish or replace the decompressor as well?
I think it is a Series 70 MKIV engine, with G4 Carburettor.
Engine number 19 720 453 2
Thanks for any advice.
Would include a photo if I could figure out how to do it.
