Appreciate it, but that would be a pretty long haul.

That was my first thought, but not being very familiar with this engine (I've only put about 15-20 hrs on it) I want to be sure there's nothing else wrong.

I found the best deal from Chatlee in Sanford. They shipped it to me and after inspection I realized I could put it on myself and save some money. Not saying that's your problem just relaying my story about alarms going off.

Expensive part or not I hope it's that sort of non-problem. Thanks

I really appreciate the reply fellows.
