Another thing about these motors you might be interested in is the shutoff on the front cover. When it is turned to the off position the fuel tank vent is also blocked. This mechanism is complicated and must work properly. Older motors have a double aluminum impeller. I have a 1945 and a 1948 both have the aluminum impellers. Yours is the newer style with weedless drive and reverse pivot. When they run they are so smooth and quiet it’s amazing. They can be temperamental!
