OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Start cord pulls back violently On victa 2 strokr

Hi mate,

Victa 2 strokes need the blade plate attached to start and run. Sounds like when you took the engine off you haven't put the blade plate back on OR (Much less likely) the crank shaft is bent. If the plate IS on then make sure the boss and the plate are lined up correctly AND is tight.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks,
Pete
