Bruce:
Thanks about the spark plug & especially the catcher, at least I now have something to ask about [Linked Image] You wouldn't know of a good way to locate a No.17??
Are there any reference books around that I could lookup to try and track down the model num of the mower??
Dad's starting to put the engine back together, do you have any PDF's on service/repair of the 160 engine??
Thanks for all your help, very much appreciated.

Joe:
Pics are all Dad's doing, can't take any credit for that one. But I did add it to the Blog, which took all of about 6 clicks and a bit of typing.
Yeah, the catcher fitting onto that white plastic sleeve sounds right to me, you wouldn't have one in the "junkyard" by any chance?? Or a few tips on tracking one down??
When you say "Storebrand", do you mean like a department type store, as opposed to a Victa dealer??

Thanks guys, I'm sure I'll quit it with the 1000 questions soon enough [Linked Image]
