Very well used, and abused, the only parts its needed in 17 years apart from oil and blades being a couple of spark plugs, a new throttle cable and a deck shield. Oh and a piece of wire to hold the axle together. Hasn't been ran for months and started on the first pull, no smoke.
Continuing the strange automotive theme with Victa models, check out that mighty Sprint 375 engine

Before Christmas, my 92yo neighbour passed away, I was helping her daughter clean the shed out and found this exact model under a pile of junk unused for 15years!
I took it home and offered to “get it going”,well bugger me, added fresh fuel, it fires first go! I offered to buy it as a spare but the daughter wants to keep it :(
So I change the oil, now I know itll go for another 15 years....
