You should look at the airfilter assembly because that can cause a lot of issues if it is warpped it will cause starting issues and running issues.

Just search on the forum and you will find other people that have the same problem.

The best one appears to be a discontinued line (ACX1139) as I can't find it listed on the OEX website anymore. This is aviation standard Auto Electrical PVC Tubing ID - 6mm Black Cable Sheath, Made in Australia near Brisbane Airport by OEX, and pretty much identical to what was originally used by Victa. I bought a whopping 25 metre roll so can supply the correct lengths to any restorers for a small fee plus postage. Or you can buy your own 25 m roll and have enough to last you a lifetime.

There are other autoelectrical tubing sheaths available, but none that I could find online were as straight and uniform as the OEX brand. Many brands tend to be too flexible and go floppy and crinkly, especially if left out in the sun.

Alternatively, 6mm water tubing should do a similar job, as the 6mm is ID, but the outer diameter is a fraction wider than the original tubing. It is also a fair bit stiffer than the OEX product.

Here is an example. https://www.aquagardening.com.au/black-6mm-flexible-water-tubing

For the Kirby engine I got all the bolts/screws/nuts/washers from

Classic Fasteners - 1/75-77 Grange Rd, Welland SA 5007

https://www.classicfasteners.com.au

Full range of all the old UNC/UNF bolts and screws etc.

I ordered them online and picked them up. All neatly zip locked in separate bags. If you are not in the Adelaide area, they do deliver.

Gaskets I got online rzpartssurplus (off ebay I think)

piston ring set #27565

If anyone thinks there could be information in any of these manuals that might be helpful, please don't hesitate to contact me and I can scan individual pages on a person to person basis.

So here is a picture of all of these manuals together, my copy of Scott Bonnar number 97 and a picture of all of my GG/SP manuals including my small engines manual in numerical order from right to left with some of my collectables.

These are all of the rotary mower ones as far as I know! If anyone else has information otherwise I'd love to hear it!!! Otherwise case closed and a complete set for me!!!

-Scott Bonnar series (to 1977) number 97
-Rover series (1978) number 99
-Mowers series (1971) number 100
-Rover series (1978) number 101
-Victa series (1974) number 102
-Victa series (1977) number 103
-Victa twin and lightweight series (1977) number 161
-Victa rotary mowers series (1955-81) number 200
-Victa rotary mowers series (1955-84) number 220
-Victa rotary mowers series (1955-87) number 403
-Rover rotary mowers series (1992) number 422
-Victa rotary mowers series (1955-91) number 424

Removing and installing a crank oil seal had been around for years and methods and tools has been evolving. I would like to share my new oil seal removal tool innovation that I haven't seen similar on the market and the best tool that every home small engine mechanics wish to have. For only $2 and any heavy scrap thick metal tubing as a hammer, you can make one of this. My YouTube video will show you how to make one which is quite easy but no one thought about it.

Wish you all a happy 2022!

CM

I love original research and this is impressive!
You have tried to understand the development of the G4/LM carburettor.
The variations of the poppet valves are extensive.

I am an amateur with this, but I have a simple question ...
What advise, if any, do you give to repairers?

Many thanks for sharing your work with others.
I'm sure other folk will be interested in this.

Sincere thanks

My first Tiny Tach died due to non replaceable battery and the second like to hang up requiring a reset with a knife blade. Just got the PET one recently so no real history on it though I have about 30 min elapse time on it.
