Thanks Norm
I ended up doing the same thing - bought 20 of them on ebay for around what the mower shop guy wanted for 1.

Unfortunately, no one brings in Victa 2 strokes. I just fix my own tip/curb find mowers (2 strokes mostly, but haven't found a Victa for 6 months), mates mowers, and mates of mates mowers. And everything they bring in is Briggs (or Briggs derived) or Chonda. Talons, GMC's, 909, Wesco, some Victa's and Masport and Rover. And several used to have Victa (one Suzuki) 2 strokes - until they straight fueled them.

It's sad that no one will even consider a two stroke mowers - so much better than Briggs, and just as easy to start (easier in many cases). I still see a few being used, but it's unfortunately rare.

Thanks you very much for the offer, but unfortunately at this rate, the o-rings would split and crack before they end up on a mower.
