And to add to this I also have some Powertorques that won't start for some reason, but as I have these motors everywhere it is easier for me to just swap out the motor that won't start and replace it with one that does. I guess one day I will have to confront the reason why they won't start and that will only happen if I stop buying these mowers from ebay and gumtree. The big problem is I get plenty of these mowers but the bases and wheels are usually shot, but the motors are fine. I would say I probably have at the moment 5 motors to every base and wheels. With the Rover stuff it is the opposite, 5 bases with good wheels for every motor because they use Briggs motors on them. If you could fit Victa motors on the Rover bases it would be a good combination, but I guess this would not be in a manufacturers interest, they have to make something wear out/fail www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/81193/Powertorques_that_won't_start.html#Post81193
