RE: Engine I.D.
Ralph,
I removed the carb from the engine in the attempt to find any exterior designations, and are listed as follows.
On one side of the carb, in a depressed circle, is the number "40", on the same side of the carb, in double overlapping depressed circles, is "J3"
On the butterfly face of the carb, on opposite sides in depressed circles, is the number "1" in each circle.
On the intake face of the carb, stamped in the shape of an arc or in a near circle, are the letters "spore"
On both carb plates are the letters "SDC"
There are no other numbers or letters anywhere on the exterior of the carb.
Thanks for the help! At least we have it narrowed down to a 4 something. That's more for certain than I had before.
Pat
