OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Power torque just stopped, stop switch maybe ?

Gday all, I am new on the forum, have been browsing for years but never needed to sign up till today.

wondering if the stop switch is a common problem on the Power torque motor ? & if so how do I fix it lol ?

mine just stopped dead today been right over the common stuff like fuel and plug etc but it just wont go lol!.. conked out on me while in use if thats any hint to anyone ?

has no spark, plugs getting wet, head gasket n stuff all ok but just wont go !

thanks in advance

If you pull one of the wires out of the back of the carby that will disable the kill switch to rule that out.

ok thanks, i will go down and check right now

naa didnt help still wont go ..

Did you try a new plug?

Otherwise I would be pointing my finger at a bad ignition module or a ignition module with a bad earth. Or the ignition coil itself.

yea joe I tried 2 different used plugs then I went n got a new one, I think the plug is CJ8 ? does that sound right ?

Yes i think it must have been the module, coz I just put the coil off the dead motor onto another engine & slipped it back on the mower base & its running like a treat..

replaced top Oring & primer plate oring, a new head gasket & plug while I was at it, shouldnt need touching again for a while - 1st pull now !.
