Well.... the old fart is back..... this time with a trivial question perhaps!
Engine Model 31C707-3346-G6 (Now running again!) It's a OHV .... Boobala! :laughing:
I can't seem to get this part of my rebuild out of my mind. This may have come up on other threads.... if so .... sorry for the duplication.
It involves this part.... which is a restrictor gasket, metal front with soft gasket back combined.... that goes where the intake tube bolts to the head:
Can anyone tell me WHY it's there? What is it doing other than reducing potential power? I thought about taking it out and simply using the standard gasket but the tube uses an O-ring... and how would that seat against the soft gasket. Perhaps leave out ALL flat gaskets and mount the O-Ring tube directly to the head? Maybe cut the restriction out making it a perfect circle instead and reinstall?
Thoughts anyone?
