Hi all,
I had a victa utility exactly the same as the one above and I really regret selling it! It would cut 4 foot high grass with ease. Those full crank engines were so powerful, and I would rebuild one of those any day than buy the new junk.
As for starting I use to leave it out in the rain for 6 months with the same petrol, go up to it pull a foot of rope out and it would roar into life! i cant see why everyone raves about Hondas, because these victas and most Briggs are capable of starting just as easily!
Regards Jay
