I gave Frankenmower a longer test today and it took only four pulls with the throttle moved up to medium to start, without pushing the hard to reach primer. I think I will fit a G4 grey primer-less cap to this one if it keeps starting this well from cold, and save the white cap for when it can be more useful. It went well but I'll have to watch more carefully how I trim the cam next time, as I definitely shaved to much off. I had to file away a bit of the bottom of one of the spider legs to clear the screw on the cam as it rotated and lifted the spider up! I'm grateful it goes despite that, but the result is most of the throttle rise occurs only in the first quarter of the t bar movement and the rest of the way, it rises just a little bit more to max revs.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
