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.
The new PT that I got from the Bankstown pawn shop is still in great condition, BUT, the decompressor broke off at the stem that fits into the tube! I couldn't believe it and had no idea how it happened. And the decomp on it cannot be taken apart, so I took one of my spares I have been picking up off dead mowers along the way, took it apart, and used a service kit to revitalise it before sticking it on the PT and now she is going fine.
The old green machine 1984 PT is also still rocking along fine, it rarely gets used after savage looks from my neighbours. The sound of this thing is kind of like Bathurst on a good day, but many don't appreciate the sound like I do
I always liked the look of the white PT's and the white Vortex's. Good find for the PT.
Hi Max, now that you mention it, it DOES take a hard pull to get the pawls to come out. When pulling them normally, they don't seem to want to come out straight away. Could this be a sign of stiffening or something else?
