Thanks for this idea, and for introducing Laboratory Grease. Unknown to m=
e, I found it on Amazon for $6.75 the one ounce container. That will be a h=
andy addition to the first-aid kit I keep.
Fortunately, this engine=E2=80=99s carb shafts are snug. Carbs were rebuil=
t 10 years, 2500 miles ago, so the problem is not their shafts.=20
I look forward to spending some time with it this weekend.

e a newbie error. I got in a hurry and left out two bolts, some of the bolts=
that hold the pump body to the head. The coolant leak is through one of tho=
