When you pull the intake, you’ll know the amount of sludge your dealing with. If no one has cleaned the top previously. If there’s a lot there then I’d pull the pan to clean it and the pump screen.......Mark

So I called the guy that had it and I'm sorry to say, it's gone. Probably sold for scrap.
So back to my fatty. Will the starter from the automatic work with the bell and plate I have?
