    I wanted to share something I learned today about this motor. There was quite a discussion in Buc’s original thread way back about the fuel pump on these motors and the lack of any check valve.

    Well today I stumbled upon it. There is a spring loaded check ball hiding behind the motor side fuel connector.  I was changing the fuel line on mine and unscrewed the connector and the ball fell out.
