John Adams Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks Sean.... I think I made another rookie mistake with the numbers I gave that were on the engine. I believe that I mistakenly cited a part number. I did not get the numbers from the location on the engine that the owners manual said they would be located. I am going to the right place today to record the correct ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
