21 DECEMBER 2023. FOOT STARTER AND ROD SEAL INSTALL
A new rod seal was bought from LMC (Lenexa, KS). After threading the rod through the seal and attaching it to the half moon rod mechanism on the engine, you then attach the seal to the floor. The seal fits on the floor hole in a way that has rubber underneath and above on the floor's metal (see pics). And I thank Dan for encouraging words. Some work does require an extra set of hands! My "motorhead" friend also lives in the same town I do and it's rather a convenient short drive when I call on him to lend a hand.
