g'day. name's glen and after a long while without one i have another viccie. last one had a steel base and i believe a 148cc donk. moving meant parts were stolen from work where i kept it. swore i'd get another and now have.
new one is an old one(model 5 from pictures i've seen for comparison). bought off ebay and near complete, my little 18 special needs love and time. wondering what i can and can't get if i need it and what easily transfers between models. the carb is now cleaned out and doesn't leak or flood but the O rings on the fuel [Censored] plunger are somewhat unhappy. are they a regular garden variety size/part?. the donk has good compression and looks presentable enough. one wheel is shot, the intake duct is long gone but i have a later convoluted type for now. paint is not an issue as it ain't a resto and i can live with unoriginality in most aspects if the benefit outweighs the wank value of all stock standard(doe's later leccie ignition transfer over, etc....). i'll likely never need to mow with it but want all functioning and looking presentable. i realize this is a vague set of questions, but will get some more specific queries for ya's as i get it into tiny pieces and work out whats wrong. will put a pic of the big girl up once i get settled in here.
just briefly, was there ever an actual trimmer produced to utilise the cast channel in the baseplate and where might i find a photo of one or the clip(?) that holds down my little plastic cover that is there in it's place.
thanks.
