Curious about that expanded metal for a debris screen in the recoil too. Don't remember ever seeing that before either. Definitely the only fairly complete one I've seen with the later starter, I do have the engine from one in my collection, it also has the mesh debris screen. Never seen one fitted to anything else though, must be something Turbair added. David 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the square backplate aluminium? it almost looks like asbestos from the pictures. Also it looks like it may be difficult to attach the bottle.

pmackellow 2,738 #28 Posted September 12, 2016 Yes the backplate is aluminium David, the bottle would be a tight fit, looks like its coming off then ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
