Your advice is spot on as always and I removed the coupler and stage 1 is failing, the local dealer has the parts and will rebuild the couplers! Thanks again for your advice saved me $$$ and learnt something in the processLast Post by:

Ā This made me wonder if I was doing the right thing at the annual maintenance by replacing all the filters in the fuel system? Ā (This is what I did last year) So my question i…

Ā can the Barry mount accommodate this? Pictures of existing mounts unfortunately didn’t get …
