Hey guys
Pretty new to the lawnmower scene (only recently bought a house)
I bought a 2nd hand Victa vc450 with a vsx160.
I went to start it in the weekend (following replacing the blades) and It won't pull start with compression (ie. it's will pull fine without the spark plug and when pulling slowly) It gets about 6-7 inches out and stops which bloody hurts your hands after repeated attempts.
It has been getting a little bit noisy when cold (like a rattly bearing?)
I have tried to find a service manual so I can work my way through the problems but no luck, so I am hoping someone here can help.
I have seen a decompressor mentioned, but not sure what it is.
Before this happened, It spent a bit of time on its side getting knocked around while I tried to get the old blades off and co-incidentally the disc has now come loose from the shaft.
What is the best way to tighten it back up without an impact gun?
Thanks in advance as I am really a bit lost and don't really want to take it down the road to the shop yet as I would rather tinker myself.
