    Good Morning David!

    Looks like most of your questions have been answered but I’ll also add my 2 cents.

    Forward gearcase adjusting screw just kinda’ hangs out there.

    No washer under the water pump.

    The set screw (stbd. side gearcase) that holds the water pump in place has a thin locknut that anchors that set screw

    in place. Any gap between pump and case is just that, a gap. (the set screw into the pump case determines that) I’ve seen them

    with gaps and no gaps. I checked with Bob Zipps on that.

    My J – 65 runs very nicely all day long with a D – 9 plug.

    (My gearcase has an Allen plug for greasing but I’m sure it’s not original)

    See you at Bud’s place!

    Regards,
    Bob
