I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD VICTA 2 STROKE LAWN MOWER.ABOUT EVERY SECOND TIME I USE IT I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE SPARK PLUG FOULING UP.SOMETIMES IT WON,T START.I PULL THE PLUG OUT AND IT IS USUALLY WET,ONCE I CLEAN THE PLUG IT THEN STARTS OK.THE PLUG IS ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD AND HAS NOT DONE ALOT OF WORK.ALSO IT SOMETIMES STALLS WHILE I AM USING IT,I PULL THE PLUG OUT,SAME DEAL,IT IS WET AGAIN,I CLEAN IT,OFF IT GOES AGAIN.CAN SOMEBODY HELP.

guido,
Just have a couple of questions:

1. How old is the fuel that you are using?

2. Are you running the machine at full throttle?

3. When you have spark is it a dark blue or yellow colour?

Let me know and I might be able to help.

Regards,
Bruce

BRUCE,I AM REPLYING ON BEHALF OF GUIDO WHO IS A FRIEND OF MINE.THE FUEL IN THE MOWER IS FRESH AND THE MOWER IS BEING USED AT FULL THROTTLE.I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER A WHILE AGO AND COULD NOT GET A FILTER TO MATCH THE PART NUMBER IN THE MANUAL THAT CAME WITH THE MOWER.THE ONE THAT WAS PUT IN LOOKS THE SAME BUT GUIDO THINKS IT DOESNT QUITE REV AS HARD AS IT DID.I HAVE NOT CHECKED THE COLOUR OF THE SPARK YET.WHEN THE PLUG WAS CHANGED A CJ8 WAS PUT IN.IS THIS THE RIGHT ONE?
THANKS BRUCE.

guido,
I would suggest that you use an NGK or Bosch plug as champion are not as good.

Regards,
Bruce
