With the main repairs done gave the mower a good test run yesterday afternoon.
Nature strip, front yard, back yard - everything in sight that was green.
Importantly hot starts are good.

Mower repairs–part 5
Mower repairs–part 4
VICTA 4 Stroke 19" STATESMAN 550 mulching mower – Start-up video clip.
The repairs went well with a satisfying DIY outcome and the parts cost $29 - happy with that.
Purchased in 2008 for $399 and has the larger Briggs & Stratton 5.5HP 4 Stroke Engine. Still a couple of things on the list, damaged wheel and that dodgy recoil starter.

Mower repairs–part 3
Have to clean all that out plus wash parts with petrol which means I have to go get more stuff so wait till later when the rain eases off - down tools again.
Mower repairs–part 2
Went down to the mower place to get the parts and when I got back, we had to quickly get the chooks sorted out before the rain came down - what a change. Went out to continue mower repairs but gave up for now with everything pulled back into the carport - away from the rain.

Victa Briggs & Stratton mulching mower will not start (bugger)
Since the last time I serviced the mower a few years ago it's been running well and now suddenly with no warnings - will not start ???
There are a couple of things creeping in lately, harder to prime and the recoil starter is dodgy - slack cord.
