A new rubber seal and fuel chamber cover (whatever its called) could be all it needs.
As for the makita, my brother in bris has the same one (actually found out after I bought mine) and says it works fine for him but have to mow regularly. If grass gets long it may need mowing taller first then stepping down. I have more grass than him but he still has 2 bars left on battery after mowing. I'd guess his area to be around 2-300m2. Maybe more.

There are people who know those Victa Powertorque's like the back of their hands and still have trouble getting them to run correctly.
I would get it running again and keep it as a backup for a while until you know the capabilities of your new Makita.
