My 70's vintage Victa 2-stroke mower has been on it's last legs for a few years now and I've been spending as little as possible to get it through each season. In any event last week I decided to bite the bullet and bought a secondhand Victa keystart model from e-Bay. It was reasonably cheap, but eBay is always a gamble, of course. It starts and runs fine and I've fitted new blades, spark plug and air filter. The only thing that bothers me a little is that it has a faint low frequency 'whine' when running. For those that have heard such things, it sounds a bit like a car engine fitted with a supercharger. Not having owned or heard a keystart model running before I'd be interested in any comments....it might be quite normal.
If it helps there's a sticker on the plastic cowl, which reads 'KSS201A' (model number ???)
I've made a donation as I'm interested to see any manuals or parts lists that might be available for this mower.
TIA
