[quote=Sapper]Thanks Norm, will do.
MF, this one is a machine that someone up the mountains wanted gone, nice early 80's Corsair with a twist; top pull instead of side pull. I will fix the starter up and see how she goes from there, but the guy said it was working before it slipped entire.

Oh right! I misread your original post and thought it said you got a VC -160. The mark 2 has a dodgy height adjuster that lets go as you are mowing!
It led to the plastic height detent teeth used for years after.
It sounds like you installed the full crank type decompressor valve with the longer neck as the short PT type is sealed. I never knew you could fit them on.
I was given a full crank with a PT one. It was a wonder it ran at all without the thing screwed in all the way home!
Maybe you need to stuff in more exhaust mesh to the green PT's muffler. Beware, the clips can flick off violently if you remove the exhaust without care. One missed my eye by a whisker one time.
Maxwestern, could you explain in detail what order the various washers go on the starter? That's probably got something to do with the partial slipping on mine. I lost track when I accidentally flipped them out when swapping the parts over to another cowl.
