I had to see if motor ran.... it did. So I took it off and put it on the Victa Ultralite base...... took fuel tank carb apart to clean, cleaned flywheel, drained oil, but problem was the base plate..... I didn't take boss off old B&S motor. Victa base plate wouldn't fit.... so I cut ends off straight Pope cutter blade and sharpened. It fitted together ok, only 10mm short of skirt of mower base. This is a problem.... I could bend the flat blade to make it 10 mm lower, or cut a bigger hole on the Victa base plate so it fitted the Pope boss. If I do that , blade replacement will be easy , with Victa blades. I just have to check blade to base skirt distance...... I mowed a few square mtrs today short ,but I could feel the base rubbing, no good. But the engine ran perfectly, I got the springs adjusted, and throttle cable , new oil. Quiet running, Easy to start, just got to hook up a kill switch. With the yankie deadman switch that was fitted, there was no throttle killswitch ,like normal B&S motors, maybe I can fit one.. I'm getting there..... cheers speedy
