        Tom,

        I know this is an old threat, but I have one of these on the rack right now and wondered where you got the rubber seal that you put on the bottom of the cowl?

        Thanks, Dave

        David, Not sure, but it may have been trim for plexiglass snowmobile
        windows, or something similar. Found it online somewhere.

        Similar to this I believe…….

          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.

            Maybe that’s why I ended up using a B&S fuel pump on mine.
            Not even sure what fuel connector it came with, if any.
