    Hello All,

    I found the parts i needed for the shift handle. Fleetwin mentioned checking the lower seal. I watched a Johnnyrude video in which he sprayed a little WD-40 on the upper seal and turned the flywheel to look for little bubbles. Would that be the same way to check the lower seal? The powerhead came off pretty easy. I usually put on new gaskets but these look in such good shape I was thinking about leaving them…or is that a bad ideal? As always thank you all for all your help.
