If you still have the remains, you could check if it included the correct delay.
An H242T-M (10sec) should have an RDK 10+. The element length is .469" and the spacer would be .375" long and black...

Here is an XLS file with 29, 38 and 54mm RDKs and HDK (hobbyline) motor delays.
Tabs for each are at the bottom.

I haven't yet found the HDK chart Bob mentioned.
This is the RDK (HPR style) chart for 29mm and 38mm.
It is old and doesn't include the newer motors.105185
