Hi Caleb, I guess you have worked out that you need a plug socket or similar up inside the throat of the carb to hold the poppet up so you can remove the retainer disc. Then you can remove the diaphragm , spring and lifter. This then exposes the cam which you can lift out. I doubt you are going to find anything in there to cause the hard starting but you will have an idea as to how it works. I cut the lobes on the cam down and I have no trouble getting them to start, I'm not sure if cutting the lobes down makes starting easier, but it works for me. The re-assembly starts with the cam in the carb body, in the closed position, cable hole closest to the entry point of the cable/snorkel,throttle cable fully extended in the run position,poke the cable ball in though the body and clip the ball into the cam, rotate the cam full to the left and the cable will be sitting in the slot in the cam. Then clip the cable outer back into the carb body from the outside into the little recess in the body. Next comes is the stupid kill switch that I always fit a new rubber to and it often takes me several attempts to get the thing to work and even when I have them working they are prone to fail. The kill switch was just another one of Victas not so finest moments. If you have got this far then you can refit the carb to the motor. Then the next issue you may encounter is the float needle, I'm pulling my hair out with those at the moment. Good luck
