Now I want to see what decompressor is fitted to my 24 with or without the restrictor. Unfortunately the mower is in Eden and I am in Brisbane. Certainly impossible with Covid and difficult enough at any time. I might be able to persuade my brother to have a look if no disassembly is needed.
The motor I fitted was off the green steel base PT utility. Late-ish model I would think but not the black one. It does seem to be a very good motor. Anyone know what type of decompressor is fitted to those? It is the one with the 4 short hold down bolts not 3 short and one long.
I still have the utility but with an earlier engine. Still a good mower but not quite as good as previously. A bit of rattle in the bottom end somewhere too but not serious.
Norm is the rattle noise that you noticed in PT 24 s an issue with this current one as well.?I never had that in ours.
This has been a good topic just what this forum is all about.
