Hi, I have a victa 2 stroke powertorque engine that im trying to get going. When starting smoke comes out of the decompressor and the engine wont run correctly.
I removed the decompressor and the valve moves in and out easily and the unit is clean. The mower will only run well when i substitue it with a spark plug. Is the engine at fault? or the decompressor? the engine has strong compression and doesnt blow smoke.If i plug off the decompressor would it harm the engine in the long run?
