Maybe this is what happens when an Electronic Engineer becomes a Small Engine Mechanics. Thanks for watching our Videos. Cheers, VARIETECH

Before I forgot, I would like to say thanks for your comment and watching our video. Better late than nothing. Cheers, VARIETECH

This is been 5 months now and before I forget, thanks for your comments. Please keep notified and watch our future videos. Cheers, VARIETECH

Thanks for watching our video. Go to Supercheap website and search for "12556". Cheers, VARIETECH

Thanks for watching our video. You're correct and great observation and summary of the overall conclusion. I should do that showing the summary as a quick reference. Cheers, VARIETECH

Hi Matt, Thanks for watching our videos. Now only we provide tutorials and guide, we tried to supply parts as well especially for victa PT carburetor. What the carburetor can do to keep your PT running for another years if other important parts are no longer available especially ignition coil, piston & rings and decompressor valves. These are the parts that we are trying to source or remanufacture if possible or feasible. As far as I knew, the current available ignition coil without iron core would cause engine kickback due to inductance which cause to advance the ignition firing. I will do more research on this one using oscilloscope to see the timing, comparing inductance and effect of the ignition module and share it to everyone. At the moment we don't have available ignition coil and we don't want to source same coil available on the market which cause engine kickback. Cheers, VARIETECH

Using Motul 2-stroke oil must be working well

That's good to be true at 110psi. I can't confirm, as most Victa I worked on, the maximum compression I got is only 80psi. Maybe someone can confirm. Thanks for watching. Please do subscribe to see more video on Victa 2-Stroke. VARIETECH

Thanks for watching our videos. If you mean the decompression valve, imagine that some of the unit was built in 1980 and still had the original decompression valve which now fails. That's possibly be the reason why decompression valves cost roughly $40AUD but this must be replaced for easy starting. Thanks, VARIETECH

If you got a reading of 80psi with decompression valve, you should also get a reading of 80psi when it's blocked. Pulling the starter cord when plug is blocked is very hard and you feel the kickback even the engine is in Off position. Building up to the full compression needs force and quick pull with no hesitation. I understand not everyone or age has the same pulling force. I'm one that already on the margin which I still enough force to do it. Maybe in a few years from now, this will be only a history to tell. I hope it help. Cheers and thanks for watching our videos and following our channel for your small engine repair. VARIETECH

@@Varietech-AU Thanks for your help. I'm thinking the reading of 80psi is because the cylinder is too dry from it sitting a long time so there's next to no oil seal on the rings. I know there's cheating with a squirt of oil. I might run it, let it cool down and try again. I normally do Briggs/Hondas and just aquired 4 Victa 2 Strokes of various generations.I like keep a clear conscience when I sell used power gardening equipment.
