Hi Mark, and a warm welcome to the forum.
It's great to have you onboard.
Re your question, could you please post a pic of your machine and in particular the engine, as from memory, the 16" Victa Imperial used a Series 70; 125cc,
2 Stroke engine, and I wish to confirm this, by the photo.
If it is, then it requires 2 Stroke oil
mixed with the petrol to the correct ratio. Also "Aerostart" is not recommended, as it strips the oil film from the cylinder barrel and can damage the engine, with continued use.
Once again Mark,
