I have a 1978 140 h.p. Johnson (mod 140tl78c ser j4990278) I had a ring break taking the piston with it on #3 cylinder. I have started to tear it down, for rebuild, and, when I pulled the intake off, found rubber wedges in reed box. In #2 cylinder, this rubber "wedge" was distorted. I have searched parts searches on all sites, including BRP and I'm not finding this part. I wish I could post a picture, but, I don't know how. I can't find it in my service manual, either. I would appreciate some help in a part # and what might have caused this thing to distort. Thanks in advance, Fishdady
