I want to know how you fitted a PT decomp on a F/C, F/C is longer to clear the head fins.
Ha well here's another funny one for ya, that powertorque mower that I found 10 years ago from hard rubbish actually had a longer decompressor valve fitted...lol
I always wondered why the valve was touching the carby and also why the whole top corner in that area on that mower was sitting higher and looked bent..lol
Here's a photo below of the powertorque with the longer decompressor valve fitted. Gee who would have thought that would have come in handy 10 years later...lol
Yes I might actually do your idle screw mod on the end cap as I do want to be able to adjust the idle again once I get it going.
As for the points, I have changed them years ago when I worked on the old VC160, and they worked great. But I also don't use the VC160 all the time for regular mowing, I assume if I was then the points would wear out and need adjusting and cleaning every now and then. But yes it's much better to just do away with them and just put electronic ignition in as it never wears out or goes out of adjustment.
Cheers!
