Hi guys:

Found the locking washers on the underside of the motor mounts. How do I deal with these. Just bend them back, make the adjustment and bend them back again?

Thanks....

Ken.

Just did this last week. Yup, bend em up, adjust, bend em back down. If you break one off, then you'll need to replace it (or use locktite in a pinch)

Bit of a pain the %$s or back, as the case may be!! Got them loose, engine aligned, and drive on. Just have to oil it and lite it. Might not have time today as the temp is 2 celcius ( just above freezing for you guys down south). lol

Didn't get a chance to fire it up for the first time this season, but its all done and ready to go. Here is a couple of pictures.
