I agree. I'm happy with more horsepower and a "better" motor but unhappy to find that sombody change the motor from what I thought was the original. First thought: Where and how do you buy 261 parts for a stovebolt? I guess that is my current position...
I'll get over it but it was a shock when I looked at the motor numbers. It looked like a 235... The good part is the motor shop that has the job of rebuilding the motor already knows it's a 261.
