MF, long since defunct

Did see a Victa with one ages ago for $110 on gumtree - actually sent a message to them asking what it is, was told it was a blade runna aerator

What a pity. We could do with one and have mowers aplenty too attach one to.

Don't think they were much chop MF. Another I saw was bolted through an alloy honda deck - could see that ending in tears

I have toyed with the idea of attaching a push aerator onto a mower, but it wouldn't work that well.

Have made a scarfier out of a sprinter though - best thing to do with the sprinter. Plus it has a 450 briggs on it, so I don't mind hammering it haha

Heh those post 2000s Briggs flathead are expendable and good for value adding a PT Victa to the average Joe who seems to think the name is semi prestige.

Must say, they're pretty easy to work on apart from the fiddly a## governor spring setup.

Amazingly simple engine MF - amazes me how botched some are that I see

With regard to the governor springs, get one of these and its a breeze https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185307848066?

3000 on the main spring, then 3200 final rpm using little spring

I got one last time you recommended Tyler. Haven't used it since I got it several months back.

May use it on a Victa slightly over revving. Do you know the maximum revs a PT should be doing?

How much beyond is tolerable?

3600 rpm for a victa generally MF, otherwise check for leaks, add washers under cam or change springs
