Frank, I would be the first to agree with you had I not scratched my head for an hour in puzzlement.
The powerhead sits so far down into the lower pan that you simply cannot even pull a boot off. Pulling the carb would be impossible. Can’t even remove the carb control mechanisms.
It’s possible these boots are not stock but they sure look stock. This motor is very low hours. Does have the black coils (cloth wires on the coils). I just don’t think it’s been apart.
I have pulled it apart as of this writing but when I reassemble maybe the light bulb will light.
