Hi guys, thanks for the input, Peter i have had a look at Bobs and his is on
the governor side and he has a pop rivit in it, his is a 3.1/2hp, so it was
hard to work out exact spot on mine, i have been told that the engines with
breather on the side are later than engines with breather near fuel filler.
Thanks again,
Chester.
