gmax I have three of them now along with about 5 Atco cylinder mowers ranging from 14" to 20" models.

The Villiers motors sound even better than the 125cc victa's but then again the first victa's came out with the villiers engine. cheers2

Joe is the exhaust plate carbonise up causing back pressure. Check the bottom plate as it has a slot to release the carbon and it could be partly blocked up or the gasket is not on correctly. cheers2
