Yes changed it a few months ago after I bought it and now started it up again to test the engine before taking it to the lake for the first time.
dont know how it was before the change either, but the thing you wrote sounded logic.
Would also be interesting to hear what the topic creator...
Hows your engine doing? Think I have the same problem., posting a link that shows my motor :
Dont dare to run it unless I know wether or not it should be like this. Im a beginner to boating.
