Can’t over emphasize the importance of that thin round plastic bearing under the mag plate. I fiddled for two months thinking that a little crack in the plastic and a little wobble would not hurt. Could not get it running. Frustrated. Finally, replaced the ring and it runs great.
The 20hp did not use the plastic bushing, it still had the conventional brass ring and aluminum retainer set up…
But, you make an excellent point. Those plastic bushings should be considered throw away parts and replaced during every servicing, just like gaskets…
