G'day Norm,
When time allows I want to see if I can run a bit of weld on the can behind the lump so the lifter does'nt drop down and cause this cable sticking problem. Let you know how it goes. If Victa had only done that millions of these mowers would not have been thrown over the back fence in anger
As we know the lifter drops down into the cam near the off position for the cams choke position ,I can see possibly instead of welding the cam
you may be able to drill the hole for the cable in a different position ,this would advance the cam so it's no longer possible
to have the choke position near shut down position , the only thing is the factory kill switch would no longer work meaning
a separate kill switch would need to be fitted.(not a problem)
The throttle control would move less but nothing that would negatively effect anything.
With this cable getting stuck on shut down ,it's as if the cable is trying to push the cam from a straight position
instead of an angle, even with just the cam in the carby the cable gets stuck.
I just change the position of the cable,the way the cable pushes the cam ,quick easy fix.
Cheers
Max.
