Hi Michael, sorry about your thread going off topic, and thanks for your help with the Green Bonnars prob....I have also asked him to start a new thread. Joe is quite correct in his advice, I just remembered, before I scrapped the old Briggs on my Model 45, I had removed the air cowling for cleaning and you could clearly see that it had been painted with the engine completely assembled....so it appears that was the original procedure at the manufacturing plant.
Please do not PM me asking for support. Please post your questions in the appropriate forums, as the replies it may receive may help all members, not just the individual member. Kindest Regards, Darryl
