I collected this mower on a verge cleanup in 1981. I replaced the piston and barrel and have done nothing since. The mixture is controlled with a socket and by squeezing the inlet tube. It starts first time every time. This photo was takin eight years ago.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Those old girls will run forever.

I had about 20 early VC mowers that cost $10. each but couldn't sell them for $20.for runners so they all got scrapped and they
were undamaged originals.

Thinking about it now Max, I should have kept all those F/C mowers I sold to you years ago

Hi Norm.

I asked for a few but you said back then you wanted the motors , I ended up with a few alloy bases and only 2 complete 2 stroke victa mowers ,one was an auto drive that needed a rear drive and the other a pace all the others were 4 strokes ,the auto drive got repaired and sold , usually you didn't let go of 2 stroke mowers unless you had repaired them but you had trailer loads of mowers to fix at the time.

Cheers
Max.

I can't remember, a long time ago and the memory is fading, besides I am pretty much over these 2 strokes because of the float needle problems

I'm pretty much over fixing mowers for sale ,even the slasher mowers are only selling for $100. to $150. and that includes
old Deutscher mowers that you see advertised for months.

I saved the Victa 2 stroke full crank motors that were removed from rear discharge bases because I had a lot of
utility bases but not worth the effort these days.
