What's your model number? I don't think they made a 14hp in 1977. Its probably from the 80's.

Oh Yeah it/s 15hp that was a type-o.
Should they be dampwith gas or bone dry. Mine look clean but slightly damp.

If they are damp it isn't running lean. Slightly damp is fine. Normally they should be dry, but if its running fine I wouldn't worry about it.
