Hi Bruce
I recently got an old victa powertourque lawnmower from a junkyard. I have claened the engine and cheacked that all the seals are good but the engine either extremly overrevs (I think its at like 6000rpm) or doesnt run. Could this engine explode?.Ive checked the vacume hoses on the carby and they are fine.
Please help i have no idea what has gone wrong with it.

Thanks
James
