A youtube of an engine clean and start........


Didn't like his bench, plenty of spare parts around the yard.
I wouldn't be spending money on it before I saw it run, I would also clean the flywheel of with a wire brush on a drill....
It reminded me of fixing things with my dad, it always took forever....
Anyway I have one waiting for me...

Hi speedy,
I got as far as him removing the top plastic cowl and then I decided to go outside and watch my grass grow

The choice of intro music and was enough for me...

Decided to see the video as I have one of those engines sitting in my yard. It was educational enough.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
