A little more on the problem this 250CC had, one of the plastic cover bolts was sitting in where the spark plug threads into the head, I had to break out the extended claw to get that missing bolt out of the way (glad it was there so I did not have to get a new machine screw from the local supply store, but also glad they are there for me when I need the knick knacks!). From what I can see, the previous owner was going after that plug too to make it run better for the next owner, but dropped the screw in there, and abandoned with the spark plug replacement, one more thing of note, liking the way this thing is put together, simplicity at it's finest, the float bowl for the carb is right there, it does not have a Nikki 6 carb, but a stamped Carb with the Briggs emblem, will be easy to service the jets and clean that float bowl in the spring for my friend, he is tickled pink on how much I like to tinker with his machine, my HS928 needs nothing for now, so I will continue to vicariously live through him and his tune up! YAY!
