Have used both of these suppliers several times, no problems. tinnedmarinewire.com https://www.genuinedealz.com/

Pull it off & check it out, grab some verniers & take some measurements. Are the dogs straight cut ( 90 dergrees to the slider)? Reason I'm asking is in the pic the one dog looks to have a back-cut to it....might just be the angle of the pic.

Does it make the noise in neutral ? Nose around under the cowl & see if they bumped something making it rub the flywheel.

I've been buying a lot of fasteners from these guys last couple of years. Great selection of Stainless Steel, great quality, any quantity you want & the best prices I've come across yet. Fast shipping & it's usually free if you spend $25+ Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. If you...

It probably wouldn't have anything to do with mass produced engines being jetted on the safe side from the manufacturer would it. I'll agree you can make a little more power with extra oil....if you have out of round cylinders, scoring on the walls,etc. The oil helps with ring seal. In my...

I agree, a person would be hard pressed to cause problems to a stock water cooled engine by doing it. And yeah, OP if you had a couple of light seizures you could have some cylinder & ring damage. A compression test will tell the tale. Charger it's a air cooled 3 cylinder...just a bit of...

Dirty carbs don't act like this. I have seen electrical components break down because of heat soak, but that's kind of rare & normally won't run again until cooled off. Sounds like a fuel problem to me. Make sure the inside of the tank is clean, no rust, gunk or water. If your tank has a screen...

Sometimes it's the simple things.... #-o :lol: Make sure to have your serial/model number when you order.

Depends on your motor, is it manual or electric start?

Why is that?

Brand wise...NGK imho.
