Hi Guys,
First time Poster.
I am after assistance to fix my Late Model 2 Stroke Victa Lawn Mower.
To give you some information. I have replaced the Spark Plug. I have purchased a Victa Carby Kit and replaced the Diaphragm , Cutoff boot and O rings. I am still using the original Needle and springs.
The Poppet valve, is an A, 3, C type Poppet Valve and it is set to C. Without a Rev Meter, I am thinking it is revving at about 3000rpm, but I could be wrong.
When cold, I set the throttle just past the Cold start spot and pressing the primer bulb about 6 times it will usually start within 2 pulls and keep running until turned off.
Whilst running, it seems okay, it may bog under heavy load, but it will regain speed once I back off.
My Problem
If I restart the lawn mower within a minute of it being turned off , it will usually restart.
But if I leave it off for 5 minutes , it will not restart. And I have to try priming it and pulling the pull cord so many times for it to restart and sometimes I succeed and sometimes I do not succeed and need to go to a backup lawn mower to finish the lawn.
After an hour or so, it may or may not start. But if I try it the next day it will restart.
Does anyone, advise what I can do to fix it. I quite enjoy the 2 Stroke mower and feel something minor is amiss causing these issues.
I don't want to just throw money on stuff hoping to fix the issue, but if advice is this is the cause and more than likely fix the issue I am happy to proceed and advise all, with a follow up post.
Thanks in advance
Harry
