G'day everyone,
Well I ended up using the good old rattle gun on the flywheel nut and it was off in a few seconds! Great things those old rattle guns..lol
Anyway the points do look quite old and pitted/corroded. I still haven't tried out the electronic ignition module yet but while the flywheel was off I thought now is a good time to check out the wiring and why the kill switch isn't working.
Using a multimeter I checked the switch on the carby and also the wire that connects it back to the points/condensor. The switch and wire is all fine and working. The problem with the kill switch is they have replaced the original throttle cable and control with one from a later model 4 stroke lawnmower, which isn't connecting the internal steel throttle cable to the body/handles of the mower. So I will have to somehow connect a wire somewhere so that the inner steel throttle cable connects to the handle/base of the mower so the original kill switch can work again.
Cheers!
Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
