OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Masport UFO Cut

Had a lucky saturday, gave friend a lift home, and she mentioned she wished she could get rid of some junk...........
A Masport Laser Cut that left UFO rings all over the lawn. The height adjuster just drops to lowest level......
Have to bend it or tie it down.....
Nice big B&S engine with OHV.

And a Homelite line trimmer, works a little.
Just sprayed them with the new Reject shop degreaser foam and water blasted them off.
I hate working on dirty engines....
happy speedy

Looks more like a Chonda to me Speedy, looks like it is off a Sanli or maybe a Gardenline, either way good score

It had all the numbers like a B&S on the cowl. I should look it up...

What about dreaded water ingress though? Certainly worked.

What I normally do MF, is give it a light clean with spray on degreaser from sca or repco ($1 a can on special) and hose steering away from the engine.
Then once I have worked on it and have had it running, I will spray more liberally to clean it and hose (trying to avoid any cowl openings), then run for 15 minutes to dry out

My initial cleaning of my Victa 2 strokes is careful and effectively no water gets near the top of the engine - but thats because they are my favourites

Hi guys, it was so dirty..... I'll leave it in the sun for a while till I gat time to play.

The main jet was clogged and a bit of rust in the bowl, sharpened the blades,
Started pawls were clogged up , just take apart and clean.
Mowed the front lawn. The engine runs so smooth......


The cutout contacts musn't be connecting,
It could be my home mower easily, but I have 6 other favouriites,
cheers

Why not a seventh? That's how it works.

Ditto here - more like twelth (I try not to think about it)

There's no such thing as a favourite with mowers, only how many favourites you have amassed so far.

Well said MF, a Vortex is next on my list
Although if a Twin, Mustang, VC 160/125 or wind up corvette came up...

A VC 125 mkIII is my dream catch.

I discovered why the height adjustment just dropped to lowers level.
The part that holds the sides apart was missing, it must have hit a few things and broke off......shot out to the side somewhere....
I'll put something in there.....

I managed to install a cross support made from an old handle.... but broke the height adjuster lever while trying to adjust it.............
bummer, I wanted to keep this chonda as it runs so smooth....
I canabilised a Victa back axle and and used the adjuster lever, riveted it on with SS rivits for strength......
It worked, mowed the front lawn........
cheers
