Welcome Back mate. I hope you had a alright break. After watching all your videos I started to fix and sell lawnmowers. Mainly flat head Briggs and Stratton ones. I can’t wait to see more videos
Nice to see you mate, it's been a while. That utility certainly got a good wake up after being sat idle for so many years, it did the job very well considering...
As an American, I've always wondered why Austrailian lawn mowers have pivoting blades mounted on a center wheel as opposed to the flat iron, bar-shaped blade like mowers here have. I wonder what the performance difference is between the two designs. I'll be honest that tiny little two stroke mower performed better in that tall grass then my modern Lawn Boy mower did in the same type of grass. I'd love to see a competition between one of these old Victas and an old 2 stroke Lawn Boy. The old ones with the offset front wheel.
Every single one of those two stroke mowers should be saved. The 4 stroke ones usually lack the torque for the thick australian grass which is very annoying. Some wer good though, like the Kirby Tecumsehs or the 1980s Briggs on the Rover mowers, but other than that it´s victa two strokes all the way!
I’m not sure that I have a spare that is “known good” but I’d be trying points and or condenser before replacing the coil… you can also convert them to use a power torque ignition module.
Ha junkyard , have done points and condenser but not getting continuous spark . How do you convert them to use a power torque ignition module buddy .@@junkyarddog87
