First off I would like to thank everyone for the great information on the site.

now my problems, I turned the key off this weekend and the engine kept on running, so I figured it was time for a pull cable, so i tried the shut-down lever but it just slowed the idle a little.

So what should I do to get the lever to work?


also my pump is leaking fuel from the throttle shaft seal, so I need the seal kit, yet I am working in northern vermont for summer and i'm not sure of any shops that could order the kit.

should I try the dealer, or can I order online?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Are you sure that you pulled the lever all the way to the limit. The lever should cut the fuel all the way off. I've never heard of this one before.

 

I should have looked it over better, I just have to adjust the stop to get the shut-down lever to go further, then it should work.

And I found a seal kit, but it is an hour away. So I guess I will put in the 366 spring and make the trip worth it.

 

You'll definetely enjoy the spring. If the top is coming off anyway, you will love it.

 

Well I finished putting in the 366 spring, pull cable, and a few new o-rings to seal up my leak.

Everything worked out great, the sticky was a great guide. The wire trick to get the top on without removing the fuel screw worked great and I saved a little more time by using the allen keys with the rounded ends so I didnt need to remove the hight or low idle adjustments.


The new spring is fun, no more leaks, and I dont have to pop the clutch to shut down.

Thanks for the help.
