Thanks for the replies and info guys.
Being a newbie to the world of 2 stroke victas, can I ask a couple more questions re: the throttle and starting procedure.
As you point out Max, the air filter isn't original and I can tell that due to the fact that it appears to be upside down!
Per the photo attached I can see the words, STOP, SLOW, and what appears to read "CATCH or FAST"
However the throttle itself operates in reverse when the engine is running. Noa big issue but it does appear strange.
So my questions are:
- Do these engines have a choke for starting?
- What's the advised throttle setting when starting?
- How many presses on the carby tickler is recommended.
- Should the ticker dribble fuel when being pressed (it does) or does that indicate a faulty gasket?
Thanks all.
