Well you made me feel better! Thanks! So how actually does this pto operate? What vacuum pressure is required? I have never found that spec. Does it matter if the rubber "boot" gets a hole or tear in it? Mine had a little tear and I thought that was causing the pto to not fully engage but I think I found out that the vacuum from the valve cover was the culprit. I am in the process of tearing down the old engine. The intake has the fitting installed in it that is used to run the vacuum line to the actuator. I have to find out if this intake will fit on my new engine. But I'm not comfortable tearing apart a new engine to install the intake. The 12v vacuum pump is working great. Just switch it on and the actuator "plates" pull in and appears to be robust. What do you think? I may have some engine parts for the original CH engine! Looks like it died of a catastrophic broken rod situation! Thanks!
