Ok so I now have a 24 with a PT motor fitted, this one is yellow and the motor looks to be a standard shaft, not a long shaft. I now have it running but the motor is making a strange noise, not sure what it is. The base looks similar to the grey one I had that had a Briggs fitted on it, but I think there is another wing on the back of the base to take the bolt on the left hand side of the PT motor. The other thing I discovered was the pull start was broken so I put another one on with a new "O" ring. The starter seemed to slip into the housing too easily. I had bought thicker "O" rings, I think they were 2.4mm, I had tried them on a motor when they arrived but they seemed too thick, on this motor they were a perfect fit. This could be an issue with some motors, my first inkling was because it would fire on starter fluid, so I assumed the problem to be with the bottom seal as I had fitted a new "O" ring in the starter. With the thicker "O" ring it starts fine now, just this strange noise
