Very well done. Easy to follow. I am 15 years old and I fixed my mower. My mother is 60 and she could follow it. My pop has been fixing mowers etc for over 50 years and my uncle for over 30 years and they said it was a great video. Thank you.
Thanks dude - great seeing another Aussie offering useful tips on how to repair this very common model!
Just like having a mate that knows what they're talking about... thanks very much!
Excellent instructional video. Given the complexity of the subject anyone could understand the procedure from clear instructions.
Great video easy to follow. The old Victa lives again.thank you
Thanks for your great videos. Before watching i thought i needed a new mower. Serviced the carby, ignition wires, decompressor and fuel lines. She started first go!
All good! Thanks. Got the service kit from the web site. Put it all together. First pull START, it has never done that, even after being "fixed" by a mower "expert". Bonus no leaks no flooding with the the addition of a metal needle and a positive open and close added to the float. E-bay available for a small cost, small trader, support them all if you can. Thanks again
Excellent instructional vid there fellas! saved me some $. All went well. You were right about putting the 2 wires back in...fiddly work. I discovered that you have to have the throttle pushed forward to get the red wire seated and to get the black wire to push home. Thanks again!
Great video mate. Superb filming and easy to understand step by step instructions, well done.
Very informative guide to Victa carbies. Your step by step instructions are easy to follow and the excellent camera work adds confirmation and clarity to the clip. As with all of your videos, very well done guys.
Thanks guys, with the help of this video and a few parts from your push mower website I was able to fix my Carby and get the mower running again in an afternoon. Cheers
Great video one of the best I've seen.thank you for taken the time to make it. helped me out big time .cheers steve
Thanks for the post. This is the exact model I am dismantling.
Thank you so much. Loved that you spoke so clearly and that I could see everything you did; I can see my problem now; it needs a new float is all (hopefully)
great video show. easy to understand every step. thanks a lot.
I just left the kill switch wires out and siliconed up the hole. Cured all my hard starting issues.
Great video mate. The old victor was starting then conking out. Cleaned sparkie, checked breather on fuel cap then went to carb your instructions spot on. Really helpful. Problem was where fuel line feeds carby. Blew it out with carby cleaner. Must have been blocked at the float jet. Thanks for the easy to follow video on how to pull it all off and clean it out. Cheers.
A great help.. easy to understand and follow.Keep up the good work.
You need to learn the names of the parts you're playing with - diaphragm (not seal) poppet valve (not jet). Also you need to advise which way round to place the poppet valve. (actually - you did learn for the 2014 edition of this video - well done.
Brilliant vid! Just what I needed for my mower! Cheer!
Great guide thank you young fulla. 👍👍
Thank you, you explained and showed that all really clearly. Appreciate it. Now I have to find out how to clean out dirty fuel and debris from the rest...
Great video, thank you so much
Hey, you forgot to orientate the white plunger valve, it has an A, B and C on it, depending on which letter faces the square cutout will change the idle rpm. A for lower idle and usually what should be facing it.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video.....i came here because I couldn't work out the ignition wiring. When the throttle was set to stop there was still spark so obviously not working. Not sure if mine is different but looks the same as this one but the little rubber piece that you installed on the red wire had to be installed in the carby first before putting the red wire end into it. The rubber piece will just float about inside the rubber boot and you wont get connection (to short out the spark) to be able to turn the motor off. Took awhile to figure this out so hopefully this will help someone else having the same problem...
Thank you, I’m your new Sub :)
My son is a mechanic when I asked him to fix my lawnmower he told me to take it to repair shop:(
The part that you said was the jet is actually the float needle and the part that you said was the screw is actually the main jet/primer cap retaining screw.
This will come in handy servicing the Victa Tilt-A-Cut lawn edger I just got off eBay. It has the LM carburettor which is largely based on the G4.
Gyda mate, may l point out some technical errors in your vidio, the item you refer to is actually the needle and seat that is controlled by the float, ( the plastic boat shaped item), the jet that controls(correct term is meters) the quantity of fuel entering the air flow in the carby barrel is inside the brass screw that holds the white cover in place. Regards Douglas C
Fantastic vid. I pulled mine apart but had phone calls in between the process and lost track.
This was a good backup. One comment though. My kit had 2 x rubber pieces for what is the red cable here.
At 9:17 you can best see the smaller diameter core where the back wire touches with a 'shoulder' on either side.
I threaded the red cable through the boot, fitted the 'top hat' looking piece on the connector side of the shoulder
then put the boot for the tip on. All that should be exposed is the smaller diameter section. The boot then goes over the tube locator then
the black tip goes through the boot and tube holes (9:40) as the other connection point and holding it all together on the side of the carbi.
it helped me fix my old victa I got
Thank you. Now i know why it runs rough.
Thank you for showing how it is done so well and easy. Now I can also try fixing my mower!!
I need more show for victor brand😁👍
Nice video mate. Just so we're all on the same page, its "needle", not a "jet" The front screw is the jet.
Thanks for the great advice 🥰👍
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.
I was not able to figure out the procedure using "Gregory's small engines repair manual" for the Victa. It was easy enough to see how to disassemble & repair the carby from your video..
Perhaps a heads up on removing and replacing the throttle cable would have been worthwhile ..although I figured it out eventually.
Thanx
Jp
Gregory's = fucken useless Father's Day gift-stand..
It's not a jet.
It's the needle & seet..
It's purpose is to regulate the fuel flow into the fuel bowl the the aid of the float...
thanks boys i coud not of fixed the victa mower with out you thanks again john
Good job.
I think think has been quite good, never worked on one but I know how to now. There''s not a lot of BS talking, just what you need to know, thanks for showing this.
very clear efficient information.. many thanks
Needle and seat not jet ,jets are brass and have holes at curtain size that fuel pressure sprays a curtain amount of fuel through but all good
Thanks.
Thanks, excellent video, really helped me out
This can be caused by 3 parts, The Needle you replaced, the float and the plastic faceplate. if you have replaced the needle and it still leaks its likely the faceplate needs replacing, the float is not often the problem. Our Video Titled"Fix Leaky Victa Carburetor" may help, Also The Carburetor Kit with faceplate can be purchased here at our website Hope This Helps.
Thank you huge help
video needs an update , needs to refer to carby parts by the correct name and perhaps identify in depth why parts fail
excellent video. thank you.
Very good video
Mate, great video. However, when putting the black wire in through the hole how are we supposed to get it through the other side when the gold part of the other wire is in the way ?
great help thanks
it even made me realises that I even had parts missing
I dismantled and reassembled as per your instructions but the hand throttle on the handle works in reverse. Where do you think I have gone wrong.
u called a needle valve a jet ?
the throttle valve was called a jet too
We can't get the part you were referring to new as yet. However, we can send you one second hand for $6.95 including postage.
PushMowerRepair.com Hey just have a quick question, I've replaced the carby primer but the rubber button keeps leaking where that small hole is, do you know why it leaks from there? I've done everything the same and haven't touched anything
This is a great video-very easy to understand and well filmed.
Quick question...I have a Victa 160cc 2 stroke that has a carby that looks like this G4 one.
I'm trying to remove the carby from the main part of the engine, but when I twist the carby 25 degrees it won't slide off. Is there a trick to it or maybe something else that i need to loosen?
I'm going to replace the diaphragm etc.
+Murad Talukdar You may need to twist the carby further, Once it is twisted enough it should be free from the locking tabs and able to be pulled off, they can get a bit stuck if they are dirty or have not been removed in a long time
the metal piece that holds the diaphragm in place (see at 6:00) is it available as a part. I don't see it on your web site. (not sure what you mean by rats in the carb)
G'day How do I tell the G4 from the new LM carby?
Reconditioning my victa mustang are they decent mowers. Do they compare to the suzuki xl At all?
My Victa VE40 is hard to start and when it runs, it runs very crappy (no real power to mow). If I keep pushing the primer pump, it runs like a dream. So as it seems to me, the petrol is not being drawn inside the carby (loss of vacuum?). What could cause that?
Interesting though, I forgot to say, when the mower is cold, it starts straight away and runs like a dream, but when I shut it down and try to restart, it runs very crappy. Not sure if that helps, but this happened 2 times and may just be a coincidence.
Seems like you have run into a tricky problem, if your carburetor is clean then there is only a few things it could be, Leaking seals in the crankcase causing vaccum loss or a blocked fuel breather would be good to check first.
Enjoy the videos and comments. I have a Victa 2 stroke power torque with G4 carburettor. Just installed 8 part repair kit as per video. My mower will not start with the normal priming and in the START position. To start I prime and then after a few pulls I put the accelerator on Run. To maintain the revvs I have to move the accelerator up and down continually. Can anybody help with this problem
This is happening to me too. Like it’s not getting enough fuel or sucking air. Have pulled it apart several time checking all is right but still no go. Anyone?
When you had the diaphragm apart what you said was the jet (the long plastic piece) is actually the poppet valve. I am not being a smartass but it's good if people know the right name of the parts. I can see the corrections you have made early in the vid from my other comment. Excelllent vids by PushMowerRepair.com I am sure I have seen them all thanks.
Hi
No problems thanks for pointing out those corrections in some of our earlier videos like this one there are moments where we have made mistakes on the correct names of the parts.
PushMowerRepair.com Not a problem at all chief, keep the vids coming guys cheers.
Rats inside carby?
good video thanks all worked well except for now ,the motor is not switching off,until i turn the fuel tap off,any one know thanks
yes, almost certainly the two kill-wires discussed @ 9:20 ...it is essential for those to engage and disengage correctly at the throttle plate inside rotates , for good shut-downs..the throttle plate pushes one against the other inside the smaller rubber thimble cover, to enable shorting the spark and immediate shut down.
I rebuilt the Carby but I have a few questions.
How to the wires actually work? i am guess the throttle works as a cam and does something to the wires to create an earth= no spark?
- i followed this to the T, but must have dine something wrong somewhere.
the throttle seems t have no control on engine revs (flat out all the time, also the engine stop does not work.) everything appears to be in place and the throttle slides in and out as before?
i also have a washer, where does the only washer go in the carby?
the wire pin that is inserted through the rubber grommet does not appear to go all the way through, there are holes in the grommet, but not in the carby housing (2 holes are perpendicular but does not allow to push strait through)
Hi
This Video is more detailed czcams.com/video/yO5QUgQbfek/video.html and may help you understand the Ignition Wires, It could Also help you see if you have assembled anything incorrectly. Fast running speed often suggests an Air Leak. The only washer in the carburetor assembly is the Waved Washer that goes on the manifold the carburetor mounts to.
Does the mesh on the main jet effect operation?
Mesh or no mesh operation is the same
thanks so much for this video I managed to get my mower up and running again.
I have a question though, I have a later model Victa and the carburetor is pretty much identical except the long spring is missing and the motor does not shut off when putting the throttle in the stop position, also the throttle doesn't really work the way it should, it has been serviced by a local shop before. Is that missing long spring causing the trouble?
Hi
Without the long spring the mower should not be able to rev very fast when moved from the start to run position, If the mower does not turn off it is most likely related to the Ignition wires that are pushed into the carburetor. The rubber plug must be intact for it to function properly.
PushMowerRepair.com Ah okay, the rubber piece is broken and 1/4 of the size it should be, that would be it.
Regarding the long spring, the motor actually has trouble with overrevving, but as Ive watched your other videos that may have to do with leaky o rings letting air in to the piston thing.
Also the cheap buggers who serviced it before also plugged the hose that goes out of the top of the carburetor cap and into the bottom of motor, what does that do?
Thanks for the response and merry christmas!
Will Smith The hose from the top of the carburetor is part of the governor system, it slows the engine from the vaccum created by the flywheel where is connects to the engine.
Do you sale Victa cable rubber which goes to carburettor. Plz send me link I can order
Good video content, but please give the parts the correct names! 🙄
Ive got a problem with one of these plastic carbs continually overflowing..at first the o-ring gasket leaked, I replaced it, it stopped that leak..then on restarting , the carb continually overfills until it comes seaping out of the rubber pump-primer..I replaced the plastic needle with a new one, even though the old one looked ok...but its made no difference...on restart , seems ok for a minute or so, then carb overflows again..what causes this?
this question was posted 6 years ago, perhaps no solutions given to the question so i will put my 2 bobs worth in, the video is a novice giving his version of the names to the various parts of the carby , eg, the brass screw that holds the front cover plate onto the carry is actually the main jet , if 2 stroke fuel is allowed to dry in the carby then a varnish that forms is more than likely will block the fine holes in the main jet, that filter is a very fine screen, light will be visible but the almost clear dried varnish will not allow the fuel to flow, the o ring that seals the front cover plate, 80% of the time it will expand ever so slightly and you a shot duck unless you got a new one to replace it, the jet that is referred to is called the needle, needle /seat that governs fuel levels in any carby ,, believe it or not continual immersion in petrol wlll cause it to shrink , replace it with a yellow one do not select any other colour , the arms on the float will more likely to have deformed and affect the fuel level but the longer yellow needle should overcome the problem , now fitting the cover plate back on , install the cover plate upside down in the carby body so the float will remain in poison using gravity, insert the main jet screw but do not tighten it fully, slowly and carefully rotate the cover plate so you do not damage the large o ring seal , until the hard to see level line indicator on the plate is in the correct location, try this and see , easier the trying to reface the cover plate and having the float fall of those pins, i thought those school kid american experts that like doing youtube videos were bad enough , mmmm perhaps this video needs an update
I live in new zealand and I am trying to locate where I can purchase a new carburator kit and the needle valve
Hi Russell I'm not sure where you can get parts locally, we ship
To new Zealand if you visit our website www.pushmowerrepair.com
how does the jet or popped valve fit in as mine has no A B or C?
C on the models with white poppet valve.
funny jet , Thats the needle that the float opens and closes Breather hose ??? governor hose you mean , where did this guy get his info from. Jet?? popit valve . Think this guy loves calling every think a jet. What not doing anything with manifold o ring
He is not showing how to put the cable back.
not a jet
Worst carby ever created.
Thank you
