This is kind of an after thought since I've already put every thing together...but...when I pulled out the old engine, it was held in by 4 screws through elongated holes in the skid plate. No lock washers, just 4 screws.
Is this all that holds the engine and it's gear against the gear box?? Seems rather shabby. I put in stainless screws/with blue loc-tite but it seems that if the engine should vibrate even a little and move in those elongated holes that the gears would start to separate causing who knows what. I'm sure it wouldn't be good.
Any thoughts on this?
I still haven't fired this thing up yet.Waiting for a day when it's above 40*. Soon I hope.
