My very old, until now very reliable D2 has decided to start as usual with one or two pulls but now to stop after 6 seconds. It matters not what throttle setting, 6 seconds is all it gives. Taking out the carberator float chamber drain screw shows that fuel flows continuously from the tank. I...

Despite being correctly adjusted on the original new engine installation, I have just found that my Python CV drive shaft is now out of alignment. It needs the rear engine mountings lowered about 2-3 mm to realign it. Is there anything against simply doing this? (Yanmar 4JH4E with Yanmar...
