Good the hear you got it going John. Sorry you had to go through all that extra work to get the end results though. I feel your pain...
Just put the engine back in my 1811 after going through it replacing gaskets and seals.Went to start it, "CLICK,CLICK", oh, duh, forgot that the starter was bad, and was going to replace it when I had the engine out.
SO, had to take it back out, and ordered a new one, now I'm back where I started, with a 1811 with no engine in it.
