I picked up an old victa from the nature strip and have noticed that there was this black sooting around the back area of the steel base.. i wonder why...
I started the mower up and lo and behold, i get to see fireworks! the muffler seems to spit out healthy sparks on a regular basis with a decent flame ball every now and then when the throttle is released back!
apart from that.. the mower runs great
i do want to sell this mower on ebay but i wouldn't be comfortable selling it as is.
I have trolled through the forums and cannot find anything specific regarding backfiring through the muffler and sparks being emitted. is this even fixable or is it a throwaway mower?
