Hi All,
From what I have been reading I have a Victa Corvette WW-160-AS with a rebadged 70MKIV series engine.
As stated in the subject it has all of a sudden lost spark. Worked fine one afternoon, stored in shed for 2-3weeks got back out again to mow the lawn and now I have no spark..... I have changed the spark plug for a working one (took from another running mower), still no spark... I have tried arking the lead wire directly on the engine and still no spark... I have made sure that the kill switch wire is out of the carb and has been insulated to avoid a short and still nothing...
I am now suspecting that something has happened in underneath the flywheel, where the magnet interacts with the coil (not sure if that is in fact what happens???)..
Is there anything that I have mentioned which is a common symptom, and I am missing something simple? If there isnt more that I can do, besides devle into the mighty beast, how do I go about starting the repair process? I read that I will have to take the flywheel off with a "fly wheel puller"....
Any help would be great..
Cheers,
Matt
