    Default Victa carby questions

    Prologue:

    The Victa mower is now about 18 years old and has started over-revving and does not respond properly to the throttle lever. A fix for the over-revving, if there are no air leaks, is to dis-assemble the carby and place some spacer washer(s).

    Did this with a washer about 0.3 - 0.4mm thick and re-assembled the carby. Started first pull but now idles so slowly that the motor dies. Throttle response improved but is not completely to my liking either.

    Further research reveals that the carby should have been assembled with the "C" on the poppet valve where it is currently "A".

    Questions:

    (a) If the poppet valve is simply turned to the "C" position what are the likely repercussions?
    (b) will the diaphragm be "twisted"/"distorted"/"what-ever"?, or
    (c) dis-assemble/re-assemble with the poppet valve in the "C" position?
    If Australia is a democracy why, then, is voting compulsory?
