Is the O-ring changeable in the field and if so is this something that can be done most builders??...if so what are the steps for doing so and for starters, what are the symtoms or sounds that one would expect if the o-ring has failed.....Thanks for the picture....
Sorry I missed this!
I have never changed an oring at the field. In fact I have never changed one at all!
The starter cone (assembly) has to be removed in order to get to the oring, and that is much more difficult to do at the field than changing the oring.
Most of the time, if the starter is making funny sounds, the oring is either dirty, or somehow the starter is misaligned. Since it is usually the former, you just clean it with isoporpyl.
Hope that helps, and again sorry for the delay, I missed the sticky!
Regards,
