Hey all,

Just letting you know that Norm's fix has worked a treat for months now, everything great. An old hacksaw blade did the trick, and it catches nice and easy when starting. The mower itself starts first go and runs perfectly, so the bloke wasn't telling porkies.

MF, I think I got the decomp mixed up. Looking at it now on the new PT here, I reckon it is actually one of the old top mounted decomps off the VC160's, but it seems to work perfectly with a 2016 PT, so I certainly won't complain. Now that I think about it, the rebuild kit I got for the decomp said "VC 160 decomp rebuild kit" which should have given the game away.

Just while I have you here; Old G4 carb on a VC160 I am rebuilding. It has a black poppet needle, with no markings on it, but does have the control knob for idle revs. What is the best way to replace this without having the old A, B and 3 markings on the poppet needle?
