I picked up this beautiful VICTA Silver Streak 2 Stroke Alloy Bodied Lawnmower from Marketplace, where the previous owner was more concerned about telling me everything that was wrong with it! Whilst it had a few issues and generally was looking really rough and tired, it was clearly an alloy bodied Victa and I can't myself but to purchase it, load it into the boot and take it home! Question is, what is actually wrong with it, will it start and can we fix it?

If anybody is interested in the pliers / wrench that I use in this video to remove and tighten the decompressor, they are Knipex Pliers / Wrench and are IMHO simply awesome. It's like you have the flexibility of multigrip pliers but the strength and precision of a spanner (or socket) in one tool. Here is a link to them: https://amzn.to/3IXaf4S

I trust you enjoy!
