Sounds like the round cover to the B2 piston. I believe there is an O-ring seal. If you look up B2 repair -it should have details/pics.

DD44,
I have a large granite surface block if you want to check it. You will need to bring it here though because I don't feel like dragging it upstairs etc.. Probably 300lbs.

Just a guess- but is there a neutral safety switch? The fact that you put it in gear and it died makes me think the transmision may be involved.

I believe most of these come with a 50 amp alternator. You can get a 65 that is a drop in replacement. Other than that the Bosch 115 upgrade makes sense - though you have to replace the connector.

If you have run WVO in the tank most of the crud would have been disolved by now. It acts similar to biodiesel in disolving it. Most likely you would have clogged your filters in the process.

The WVO acts similar to biodiesel when it gets in your tank. It will loosen up all the built up crud from many years. It will eventually stop but you will go through many filters in the process.
