OK, having convinced myself that I must have had too many IPA’s, I mocked the power head and lower pan and exhaust housing back up.
Prior to mounting the power head, I installed the J4C plugs and boots (no spring clips in the boots so the boots are actually inserted onto the plugs a bit more.
There is no way those boots and plugs are coming out without the power head removed. Maybe 1./4″ to 5/16″ clearance between the boot and lower pan.
Yes this has the air silencer. Again, no way it’s coming off because the center mounting screw is 2 1/2″ below the upper edge of the lower pan and that screw is below the carburetor. Really buried.
One more thing that’s a tiny bit puzzling is the model number. It’s GG18732A. The last number (2) is not in any of the lists I’ve seen. Numbers are all around it but not the number 2.
S/N is 26X841981 so it’s a 1962 for sure.
