As for the wear on the cylinders, you are probably correct but I live by the old adage, if it ain't broke don't fix it! I do appreciate all the information that you and the others have given me though! Now to change out the impeller when it comes in! Got to hurry up and get it ready for the marshes that open up on and around March 15th!

Me: "Grandpa, there's no sense in putting that cover back on the coil box. It's not doing anything."
Grandpa: "Son, I know that Henry Ford would not have spent 5¢ for that cover if it wasn't necessary."
