So whats the deal? do thease have a compresson release or what? is it the timeing? help please!!! well it does have a release on the head but it works like a jake break and not a auto release, I guess what i wanted to know was this once a auto release or were they always manuel? It kicks over very hard. Guess I would like to know if this is normal, it does run good if you push start it.
May 27, 201113 yr It sounds like the timing is out or the main end seals could be blown or knackered, More than likely the timing, is it the dt2 dt3 or the dt360A. I had the same problem with a CT3 and all it that was wrong was a sheard woodruff key which ultimately once the fly wheel had shifted on the shaft changed the firing position. TTB
