will do fellas,,thanks for the leads.....does the single handle lift the deck and rear sleeve?...meaning are both connected at the same time and both will move?...or is one connected, and then have to disconnect and reattach the other?
im sure you guys wont remember, but in 2011 i got a 79 1650 for free also. turned out it had broken rings, and a bad hydro..(got parted out/scrapped)so this is my second 1650..1st one was abandoned by my buddy behind his workshop..this one was from a coworkers dad. He died, coworker wanted to get rid of everything. She told me to just take it, but i gave her scrap price minus fuel because it had sat for 6 years and condition was unknown....thankful it started up so easily...a mouse nest flew out the flywheel hole and a rotten mouse went past me head by inces..
