Thanks Joe and Gizmo. I like fiddling with the olders ones. it seems to keep my occupied.
Before repainting the base I decided to mount the motor tonight and get it ready for a test after work tomorrow night.
The rebuild went as planned. I only ended up putting in new crank seals and piston/rings as the bearings were in great condition. I also resealed the crankcase with gasket goo.
The timing went ok I think after you guys explained the requirements.
I had to replace the governer post as the old one had snapped. Not really sure how it snapped. I am pretty confident everything is ok however I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow night. I read the victa manual and followed in as best as I could.
Guess we will wait and see tomorrow night. I have a couple of photos to take a look if you wish.
This is one of Mr Davis�s old mowers (Ty) donated for me to work on.
