It is not too difficult to make up a jig so you can press them back together but this idea saves the messing around

Today I picked up his generator and he also had an old mower sitting there waiting to be sent to the tip, also with carbie problems and allegedly in need of a new piston and rings. He had since bought a ride-on and another Honda mower.

So, after some minimal fiddling, cleaned air filter and a new sparkplug the mower runs superbly. Did half an hour mowing, drained jet black oil and replaced with fresh oil.

The generator is an Xceed EX200G. The fuel tank was full of rusty crud as was the fuel tap and the needle valve needed brute force to remove but I got it running nicely by filling the float bowl with fresh fuel. May need a new carbie.

I hadn't seen a Victa with a Tecumseh 4 stroke motor before. I have had some Tecumseh 2 strokes.

Always worth a chat when visiting rural properties.

Plenty of motor options out there any of the 13/14 hp Chonda motors will fit. Only downside with these motors is they don't come with a fuel tank fitted

I do remember AVB previously recommended an adjustable temperature iron ,which would have been better. and they aren't expensive.

Yes I've also had a few engines that hunted down low and used 98 fuel and after a while they run smooth again.

Yes the same guy is selling a Victa Powertorque Utility for $300. lucky if he gets $100.

There is always a guy from Dandy and every Mower ad is "estate cleanup " you see the same ads for years.


Cheers
