Hi paul_c, wow you got a pretty rare survivor there. That would make a great patina resto or you could just continue using it as it was designed, as long as it's a good lawn.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
i like that they have incorporated that zip start mech into the shroud. this is my favourite of all the zip starters victa produced. they seem to wear very well and not prone to breaking this was incorporated in many designs
If my collection is complete ( then how come i keep buying stuff ? ) 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I've started doing that as well Norm, work every time that way and no more metal filings
How many grooves do you put in? I usually do 6 or 8
Sprayed some silicone spray into a stiff starter spring last week, spray tube popped and I accidentally doused the pawls. Had to rip it all down and wipe it all out and leave the washers in the sun for a while before they would work again
Hi Paul, I use a half round file and file slots in the cup about every 10mm . The reason I use the half round is so that the slot is slightly veed so the paws can slip in easily and come up against the squarer edge. Hi Tyler, did you get a good result with the just 6/8 slots? That is a lot less filing if I can get away with it
