Omfg Lawn Mower !

[urslow]

OK.......Brand new.....did the edges yesterday and after I did I fired up the mower (First time ever) just to hear it go. Let it run for a min or so and then turned it off.

This morning I go to crank it and nearlly broke my fukin arm. The Cord pulls 4 inches and Stops Like its hitting a metal stopper.

Its 2 stroke - I pulled the spark plug out and tried to pull but same issue...4 inches and it stops HARD.

Turned it over and the blades can be moved anti and clockwise almost a full turn and then it stops same issue.

PLEASE HELP!!

Broken piston skirt caught in the crankcase maybe??

I assume you put pre-mix fuel in when you started it.

Hope Victas warranty is better than Fords.

I'd be taking it straight back to where you bought it.

this is the reason its broken ,Mr Campbell said Victa had been successfully restructured over the last two years and was benefiting from lower cost components.
