Re: Rebirthing a Honda 12 volt solenoid

In their design wisdom Honda had the solenoid tucked tightly down into a semi-circular chasm and the mounting plate is a boomerang or handlebar moustache shape. Yes, the actual solenoid was pretty much identical to any of the many I was offered at the mower shop and auto spares, or online, but none of their plates were shaped right, and yes, one could be mounted somewhere else but then the thicker two cables with lugs and the thinner wire would have to be cut and extended, a nuisance of a job and would have looked a bit messy.
Besides, it was interesting to see how a solenoid actually works, it is different to what I thought.

Re: Victa SPX 2342 - Blue Model - Belts Help

Thanks to Mice_Elf, for showing me how to attach a picture of the deck on the Victa Mower I'm having trouble getting belts for.
I have attached 2 pictures and hope I have not stuffed that up..
As you can see Bruce my deck, picture 1, has an extra pulley at the rear that is not shown in the Deck Manual you gratefully provide here. Again, ignore my attempt to refit the old spare worn out belt.
I spoke to one of the senior mechanics at my local mower shop and he has suggested I had fitted the belt wrong in this attached photo. That's why it's way too long to fit the mower.
So the 2nd picture I have shared is what I'm hoping to be the correct belt layout.
The old spare belt that was also worn out will be the test, then I just have to find a replacement at the same length of around 3080mm OD
Time will tell..
Thanks again to you guys for helping all of us novices trying to be helpful to others..
Steve

G'day Steve, I have a deck picture but don't have anywhere to upload it so I can post it here. You can actually upload your image to this thread, in response to Bruce's response's, as long as it's within the Forum's allowances, e.g. jpg, png, etc. To do this -> I recommend using the Full Editor choice, then click on the " Attachment Editor" option, and drag your desired image onto the pop up dialog box. By doing this, it will hopefully further clarify for us, your issue... I hope this info helps you, mice_elf
