G'day folks, Another data point pic of the control button position. This one's off a 1982-3 Mayfair Utility, 160cc full crank, side pull starter.
Tyler, the Victa Workshop Manual adjustment procedure is; 'Adjust the speed by pushing the vacuum control button in and turning it slightly clockwise or anticlockwise to obtain the recommended speed'. No clue as to which way should do what!
This is the speed at full throttle no load; 3500-3800 rpm for catcher mowers; 3500-4200 rpm for non-catcher. So a rev counter of some sort is needed to set this correctly. I use a simple 'vibration tachometer', as shown below.
The manual [and the G4/LM Service Bulletins on the ODK site] is silent on initial setup of the button.
The only possible clue to this, is the exploded pic in the manual, showing the control button components. This shows the button in the 'quarter to two' clockface position.
Cheers, Gadge
