Hi,
I borrowed one of the victa manuals from my local library and read the carby and ignition pages, didnt explain as much as id hoped but it did help.
I changed the popped valve to a white one (it had a black one) and now it idles fine but now when it revs it sounds a bit like a hit and miss engine.
I used it just then to do the edges and it runs and sounds great once cutting.
Im guessing that not having the cutting disc on the engine (although it does have some cast iron in the flywheel) means that it doesnt run very smoothly (no flywheel). I have noticed this on most victa edgers.
Any thoughts? Also how do i explain this to.... hmmm.... less mechanically minded people at garage sales, i guess id have to show them while its cutting.
thanks
