MF this is the magic bullet for sure, I have re-furbed 15 carbs sitting in a box now so as soon as I get a mower ready, just throw one of these carbs on and I can in 100% confidence start this mower. Such a great feeling. Sad that Victa never made any attempt to solve this problem that has driven people nuts over the years with the frustration of a mower not starting and 99%of the people have no idea it was as simple as a stinking float needle that was rubbish. Now I have to salvage as many plastic carbed full cranks and Powertorques to save this fantastic mower from being lost to the world forever
