area once when hard rubbish was out and there looked like a lot of good rubbish but I didn't bother picking anything up.

A lot of the time I can buy mowers for $10. each so I don't bother picking them up for free.

At swap meets I always see Honda mower engines and ask how much and it's usually $10.

Not long ago I was at a tip and there was a small outboard engine thrown out and that was a Honda mower engine,
there's tons of this stuff thrown out .I saw a good twin cylinder Z250 complete bike thrown in the
rubbish at the scrap metal yard.

Honda mowers can be found but you'd rather pay $75 for one than spend a day looking for a free one.

I was talking to a surveyor and he said he goes to houses before they are sold and there's a skip bin out the front
with thousands of dollars worth of stuff that the owners throw out because they are getting a few million
when they sell so they just put expensive items in the bin and the surveyor sells what he gets from the bins.

I've had a few people give me good mowers because they bought a house that the last owner left lawn mowers in
the shed and the new owner doesn't want them.

Cheers
Max.

I've torn down some of it to give it an overnight soak to get rid of some build up gunk and to also get rid of some surface rust.

Overall I think a good clean and service and a touch up in a few spots will have it looking good and running well

Yes you are right, the primer rod literally just floods the carb and allows fuel to flow up through the main discharge puddling in the carb throat. Pretty rich mixture.

All the best

Much easier than trying to get points and condenser all working together.
So Jeremy, $20 for a new module or scavenge one from an old Victa Powertorque

I haven't really got stuck In to them yet, there on the backburner at the moment untill I finish off my current restorations and the 101 million jobs I got to do around the house. Still none the wiser if there's a difference with the two models, they do look almost identicle except a few parts. I'm thinking of taking a break after I finish these last machines then maybe get stuck into the Villiers when I get bored.
