Hi all, I added a repro decal on the front and tried the repainted cover on for size. Only serves to highlight what else needs attention! I got the motor going after flushing out the tank, fitting a missing decompression valve, vacuum tube, spark plug, and adjusting the starter rope tension. It's a pretty quiet machine this one and has good low idle and doesn't over rev.
Slowly getting the old girl back in order.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
