Thank you Ted and Norm. Almost every time I searched for something regarding Victas, this forum popped up.
Norm, they're all PTs. There was a VC160 on Gumtree a little a couple of weeks ago. It must have only lasted a day...!
Might have been a good thing as I don't have a whole heap of room.
"My" mower runs very well. Starts first time, every time. Exhaust port a bit blocked by carbon and the piston is scored, like I mentioned. It's holding about 80 psi though. The other two are a bit rough, but seem to have good cylinders and blocks. Heaps of perished seals and ignition rubbers though, one is even missing the air filter cap and has more holes in the snorkel than a politician's argument.
That said, the "better" mower is only getting 50 psi (up from about 10 psi!), the other 90 psi. Confirmed one dead decompresor, too.
Fun times ahead!
