That is excellent news Norm! I have just been catching up with some of the posts and I did see references to the Carby Doctor. Now as long as the compression holds up and the decks don't rust the Victa 2 strokes will just about last forever. I'm still in search of some decent decks for the 2 mowers that work fine but are too rusty to sell, may have to chuck them out or give them away if I don't get decks soon, unlike your place I don't have the space. So btw how much are the primer cap/needle units?
I managed to release the brass insert for the air filter but it wasn't easy, it had embedded itself in the air filter cover which is plastic and no amount of punching released it, had to superglue it to another bolt to get it out.
