I know MF, they are fantastic machines but I can't continue to just waste countless hours because I am dealing with very second rate new components. They are just too unreliable and hit and miss. I had a PT yesterday that I wanted to just run over my lawn with, it was working fine a few weeks ago but this would not start without a puff of start ya bastard down the plug hole, then it was fine. This is just unacceptable if you are wanting to sell a mower to joe average, what do I say oh and buy the way get yourself a can of this stuff so you can start your mower if you don't use it for a few weeks. I have worked with float needles for over 60 years and the Victa float needles are the worst I have ever seen by a million miles, they are garbage
