Thanks Norm,

Looks like the Victa V40 actually has a Chonda on it awfully like a Sanli. Hence the same starter. Must have been in the pre Briggs & Stratton days but who knows.

The 207 cc is actually a Victa Ultima 50. 5hp and quite an animal but obviously completely different. Side valve for starters and mid 90's vintage. You did well to get a Honda starter on that.

So Hondas are not all they are cracked up to be. I'll just keep pushing the Sanli.

All the best
Jeff
