I have a Victa Mustang that is in reasonable condition with an undamaged cowl. This is one of those Victas that suffered from the "long lunch syndrome" where the nutters there put the G4 carb on backwards so the primer was unreachable. I have on other occasions cut a section out of the cowl so I could run the snorkel down the RH side and this then makes the carb the right way around. I am a bit reluctant to cut up this cowl because of the condition. It is a good solid mower with good wheels (very rare on a 2 stroke) and has years of good life left in it so I am a bit unsure what to do
