Managed to Score this old Victa from an old Neighbour as he is moving into a Unit and needs to get rid of it. He had problems with it and replaced it but left it in his shed unused.
He couldn't get it to start. I gave it a couple of pumps with the split primer bulb and it fired first pull. Blows a little bit of smoke and refuses to turn off unless i flick the spark plug lead off.
I had a look tonight at the carby and noticed that an earth wire from the carby wasn't connected to anything. Not sure if this has anything to do with the not turning off but i suspect it may. So i connected it and will see if it will run for me tomorrow.
Model: VG 183A0 Has a sticker over the cylinder with Victa Series 80 on it.
