G'day folks. I retired due to health reasons a couple years ago and thankfully I had a lot to keep me busy on my acreage. After teaching myself to service my mower, I thought, "Hmm, how hard could it be to restore an old wreck?" I'm a complete beginner with engines, and a lot of tools, but I trotted down to the local junk yard and found the mower you see pictured below. I'm not a 100% sure of the model, but I think it's a late 80's Victa 160cc 2 stroke. I stripped it all down, cleaned and/or repaired each part and reassembled it with a few replacement parts. I'm happy with how it looks, but I'm troubleshooting why it won't start, which brought me to this forum. I'm sure I'll nut it out with the input of you knowledgeable folks. I won't use this intro to go into the issue. I kept a photolog of the project, which you can see here if you're interested. Mower Restoration Project I look forward to interacting with you all. Cheers, Dan.
