If that's the one you mean... I don't have one either! Makes me wonder what I'm missing. To me it looks more like a rod than a spring wire... does someone out there have an 84 with this item in place and can you report where it goes? Or perchance is the photo in question actually from an air-cooled engine? Geo Hahn 84 Westy |
