I wonder if you have something here. I'm surprised you can even start any PT without a blade disc. Perhaps the 460 pro engine is the correct engine for a PT 24. If our PT 24 was closer to me I would be trying to build up the spinning mass under the engine. I guess these 460 pro engines are hard to come by. Alas ours is almost 2000k away.
Norm Do you have one of those engines or even just heavy blade disc boss? I reckon it would be worth a try. Then you leave the belt a lot looser It might be easier to pull over. I wonder if you could turn something up or even modify an ordinary blade disc.
There has to be a simple solution to this issue. We are not running a Victa belt. Perhaps that's something too. Belt friction etc Interesting stuff.
