Genuine parts have the victa part numbers on them. Genuine needles are orange, whereas non genuine are yellow or black. Yes a brand new primer cap is about 20 bux, a diaphragm is about 15, same price you could pick up another mower for. The funny thing is ppl spend money on a new primer cap and oring, fit a new needle, new spark plug and air filter and it still won't run so they sell it. As it would turn out in a lot of cases the jet simply needed to be unblocked.
Some are worth money, i have plenty of spare bits which helps but occasionally you will have to buy something brand new ie orings.
