Bob just installed the blade carrier bolt and put a socket on a battery drill.

Put it all together today and it ran really well, I was amazed. I mowed the lawn with it and it didn't miss a beat. It just smoked up for the first minute or so I guess it was the oil I put in the bearings.

About the only thing I can comment on is the other stroker I have which is virtually identical, has the choke area of the throttle then idle and gradually up to full revs. The one I have just assembled (has the replacement second hand carby) has the choke area and then the revs just build to full revs, it doesn't really have a low idle. I have popped three of the genuine Victa shims in the carb. The guy I spoke to said these the more shims the lower the idle. Doesn't seem to be the case with this one.

Any ideas?
