OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa Super 24 - Back into Service again

Hi Guys,

I recently picked up a Super 24 to re-furbish and get it back to use. I have only ever had one of these mowers before and I re-sold it before I got to do a complete once over. The offer I got was too good!

To date I have completed the following:

� Cleaned and re-set ignition system (points). The engine now has nice bright blue spark
� Cleaned the G3 Carb � bowl gasket was in good condition. Reset air vane in accordance with the Victa Manual.
� Repaired ignition lead
� Installed new blades
� New Air Filter
� New Spark Plug.
� Re-tensioned belt
� Cleaned all of the carbon from the exhaust port (piston and rings were in excellent condition)


I have read a few threads on these mowers and checked the following areas of concern for these mowers:

1) No damage was evident on the blade plate
2) Axles were all in good condition with no cracks evident
3) Height adjuster works perfectly.
4) Minor repair conducted on alloy base � no further cracks evident
5) Drive Belt assessed an in good condition.

The mower takes a fair bit of effort to crank over but I can generally get it to start within 1 pull of the rope from cold. This particular motor does not have a decompressor so that does make it a little harder.

Before sending this mower off to work I�d appreciate any other pointers to ensure its service is as trouble from as possible.

I have included some pictures of the finished product.

Thank you

Jaffa
