A note or two , it generally helps if you work on a table and away from grass because springs and jets and small parts aren't easy to find if dropped ...

Thank you. Fixed my non-starting Victa 2 stroke in no time after watching this video. Save me from buying a new one.

Fantastic video - thanks so much! You saved me a trip to the repair place. I knew nothing about how to fix mowers till I saw this clip. Turns out I had flooded the engine from always keeping the fuel tap on (my bad). I followed the instructions and am now up and running again.

Excellent clip. Only down is the audio level is a bit low.

Excellent video and easy to follow. I couldn’t get my victa started until I followed your steps to fix the flooding of the engine because I left the tap on. All sorted in three minutes after watching you vid. Cheers

Hi Nev. Appreciate your efforts putting this up. Clear and concise with some great two stroke tips. Have just purchased a Mastercut 460 with the VE40. Haven't used a two stroke for 40 years so this video will be a handy in the future. Thanks again.

Life saver video Nev. Me Victa wouldn't start- likely fuel left on :(. Followed your fuel checks, muffler removal cylinder checks, spark checks and then you rich-fuel mix air hose removal tip and she started like a charm mate! Many thanks because your video probably saved me $125 mower shop service. Video is excellent, thorough and step by step for the novice. Really appreciate you taking the time to make it.
