Hi All
Sorry to revive a bit of an old post here but I do let the Victa run Dry
(turn tap off)
Found the two posted reasons as to why, and the counter from the vita manual as to why not... interesting Thank you
The victa mostly always would start first pull & if not and sitting for awhile on the second or third
The reason I do was cause my Father always did
maybe he told me why at some point... long since forgotten
He was I guess a bush mechanic (a lot these days think thats a bad thing) & from the era of you warmed your Engine first before you drove anywhere..days of Holden greys and reds and before
Me I nursed this Vita 2 stroke along as best I can in my ignorance of engines but now think it needs a good over haul which is how I found the forums.....(wondering if I am actually capable of doing it)
The fuel Question is another good point and one I have been wondering about my self...
from what I know (or think I remember it was) the lead acted as lubricant...whether this is important or holds true for a 2 stroke I guess is the question.....as in really required for the cylinder & piston...considering the use of oil ?
The ethanol point is interesting too and
I would have thought not a good thing for the motor
but I could have this wrong ?
Anyway just my 2 cents worth and thoughts ..well from the little I understand of Engines, Thank you
Cheers
