You plainly don't subscribe to the theory of it ain't broke don't fix it. It will still cut your grass, albeit not two feet tall.
But seriously, Victas are always going to have a personality of their own. You get others that won't start no matter how well everything checks out. Some will start on half a pull (love those) and others won't wake up without at least two good persuasive turns with the rope!


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
