One day we'll all be parked side by side.

Thanks Greg!
It really bothered me to not dig into it & fix it!
I would have went stir-crazy to sit & wait until spring to figure it out & fix it!!!

the only downer is old man winter is quickly approaching. chilled down in the 30's this morning but its OK I'm wearing flipflops, living in defiance.

hope you get some more miles in before hibernation time...

Thanks Clem!
Now that I have had the motor apart, I know exactly what I've got!
It should be pretty bullet-proof from this point forward!
It runs great, and I have leaned on it pretty hard since the mishap without disappointment!!!
