Fleetwin,
I’m glad you explained about he grommet. I have never messed with one of the folding motors until now I thought that where they fold together it might be missing more than that damaged rubber grommet on the one I am working on. I thought I had the right new grommet on hand but it was for a larger diameter copper pipe like 3/8. I got the right one on order for where those haves mate up its like for 1/4 copper. I have a small piece of fuel hose squeezed in there right now that I have been using to help diagnose why the water was not circulating through the engine. It is sealing those haves for now I plugged the hole where the water goes up to under the exhaust plate to make sure it was sealing well and checked to make sure it was not leaking where the halves fold together. I think I found out why the motor was not circulating water it was the drain hole in the water jacket on the bottom cylinder at about 4 o-clock was plugged its only like 1/8 inch hole. Once I get the new head gasket and exhaust plate gasket I will make sure the motor is circulating water and then replace the grommet where the halves fold together.
Thanks,
Joe
