my old victa 2 stroke starts runs for about 30 seconds backfires a few times then stops

not sure what model it is but it shoots the clippings out the side it has a plastic carby and the starter is on the side of the block

it it possibale this could be caused by the hole in the muffler that shouldnt be there?

i have just fixed the fuel leak and put the throttle cable back on [it was disconnected for a couple years stayed on half throttle]

any help would be appreciated thanks


Cheers, Emmo

is it beer-o-clock yet
