I messaged this clown but he insists it is not a 2 stroke. The problem is he will tell whoever buys it to just put straight fuel in it and they will end up with a useless pile of scrap metal
After a few harsh messages from everyone I guess he's finally worked it out, now all any purchaser has to be careful of is what fuel did he use in it when he last used it ?
Cheers, BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
BB, I thought it might have been the message I sent him this morning that went something like this. I hope if whoever buys this and follows your fueling instruction and when the motor dies after 10 mins I hope he comes around and punches your stupid head in. I see he hasn't stated it is a 2 stroke but at least he doesn't claim it isn't a 2 stroke. Yes that is always the fear that some poor bugger will end up with a $100 mower that is only worth $10 if it has been straight fueled
"Hi I need someone to fix my mower - it needs a service and wont shut off"
Me "Sure, bring it around whenever you want. What brand is it?"
"It's green"
"It says Victa"
Me "And what does it say on the top of the motor" (I think probably maladjusted throttle cable)
"sprint 375 - the bloody thing wouldn't stop when I went to finish mowing, I had to tip the fuel out to get it to stop"
Me "hang on, did you say you tipped the fuel out while the motor was going?"
"Yeah, took the cap thing off, tipped it on it's side and emptied the fuel into a ice cream container"
Me "You took the fuel cap off a hot running engine and thought it was alright to try to tip fuel into a container?"
"Well some got in the container, it went everywhere. When can I drop it off?"
Me "Anytime, but buy a lotto ticket for yourself on the way as you are very lucky"
He had no understanding of the risk - I will explain to him how to shut it off in an emergency by the plug wire before he ends up like that buddhist monk
I'm not so concerned about the fuel going everywhere, big end bearing would be running very on oil for a while. We are breading dumb people these days. My sons ex was telling me a couple of days ago that a friend of ours has just become a teachers aid working at some school, I guess around here. 30 students, one teacher and 10 teachers aids because the students are just not up to being able to learn/understand basic things
