Hi Norm and Mf,
Not sure why you would need to make an adapter Norm as you can buy a repair kit on ODK.

The Vacuum diaphragms are different sizes for the PT and FC .
If you are missing the complete decompressor for a full crank you could just cut and shut a PT decomp and weld in an extension.
Another problem with an adapter is the loss of compression as you are increasing the combustion chamber size.The extra
squish volume wouldn't be that much but probably like putting in an extra head gasket .
If I had a motor with a non working decompressor I would block the hole with a N21 ( long reach plug Thread reach: 19mm.)
and grind off the end tip off the plug ,also snap the porcelain off the other end to shorten the plug.
Some of the Power Torques didn't come out with decomps as the hole in the head wasn't drilled so I don't
really see the need for one if you don't have a weak arm. Some motors it may help to start like a Victa 24.
As these mowers aren't worth much ,the spark plug blocking the decomp hole is all I would do to get one running
unless someone is too weak to start the mower.
Cheers
Max.
