Hi Norm,
What was the Victa Model Number for that mower with the Tecumseh. Its just that the Victa V40 starter seems to be the same as mine. I wonder if the Honda type Chinese starter might be better quality than mine.
I wonder if some of the starter issues here are the issues with the engine itself. It never starts first pull. Always needs about 3 pulls with the choke firmly on. Nothing at all without the choke right on. In fact I got from a guy who could not start it because he did not have the choke on fully.
I do not imagine real Hondas are like this. They usually go first time do not they.
Having said all this, I used it yesterday afternoon. The Sanli just sings along and the starter is fine now its lubricated.
Many thanks to all who contributed
Jeff
