Hi just seen your post i have a DGT1700 as well. I have a set of new pistons ,rings , rods and gaskets for this engine if you need any parts .Also a new tiller and second hand deck
hi if its an inertia starter the cog may be stuck on the starter shaft spray the cog with wd40 and try tapping the starter with a hammer as you turn it over failing that pull the starter and see if you can free the cog
thanks yes was it called a QT 16 though
ive got a G16XL as well with a tecumseh oh16 but that has a belt drive rear tranny but shaft drive from engine
cheers nick
The guy i got the tiller from said that when he bought the tiller Bolens recomended using the weights i was a bit sceptical thinking front weights would be more useful but it does seem to work better tilling with them
collected it today its missing a double pulley from the GRS and the GRS belt the guy i bought it off is going back to the warehouse he got it from to have a look .He said its full of engines boats and parts PO was a bit of a hoarder bought loads of new speedboats engines etc had them in an airconditioned warehouse had 6 containers of new stuff as well
