SENIOR TECHNICIAN
Ok thought about my wish list, things I need, Victa ignition modules,(always seem to be a problem on the side pull motors, (maybe because they don't get as much airflow over them as the Powertorque)) good Victa wheels,(something very rare on the 2 strokes, usually good on the Victa 4 strokes) square snorkel caps,(for some reason they always seem to be missing) Powertorque pull starters, ( I seem to pick up motors with the pull starter removed. I know why because they remove the pull start and put them on ebay and can sell them for more than you can sell a complete mower). And of course float needles that actually work for the G4/LM carbs. Just a few things I have on my wish list

I took it apart, gouged out the bottom ring as it was jammed in. Cleaned the ring grooves and used a fine file to smooth out the piston, some sandpaper to cleanup the groves in the bore.
a new head gasket......
It started after 3 pulls.
Mowed the front lawn on low revs.... but it revved .
Delivered it to Grandmas...... but wrote the fuel mix on the base, and now E10!! either..
I was surprised
