Would a reason they are aluminium be because they have no throttle adjustment? When I start it it just runs full throttle, no in between. Just thinking perhaps quicker to get to operating temp.

I'm guessing that code says it's a 2000 model? If it is it goes to show what regular maintenence can do for a motor. It still runs very nicely indeed and isn't smokey. I wish I could say the same for my ride on.

Edit Hi Bob I was typing this as you posted. It runs very nicely and starts first pull. No just curiosity due to the engine not having any ID on it at all. It is a John Deere JS63 self propelled. Not a bad mower actually.
