Hi everyone,
I have this problem with my old Victa 2 stroke 160cc lawnmower, it's the one with the back plastic carby on the old full crank engine. I have replaced the rubber seals that sit on the intake side of the engine for the carby. I have also just today replaced the carby fuel float, needle, brass inlet screw, the plastic cap with the rubber primer on it.
I still can't seem to be able to adjust the idle on the mower at all. The screw on the back of the carby has been screwed all the way out and the idle is still pretty high. The revs still work ok with the carby lever on the handle. But I just can't seem to get the revs low enough when in the idle/start position.
The cable still works fine that connects to the carby, I have installed the needle the correct way for the float.
It's just a bit annoying when trying to empty the catcher and the revs are still quite high when it's back in the idle position. The screw on the back of the carby I have sitting all the way screwed out, it basically isn't doing anything at all for the adjustment of the idle.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers guys!
