Acquired the 802 from gov auction marked as " nonfunctional- sold for scrap". Intent is to strip for spares all parts compatible with my 803a. Obvious sign of rodents infestation and although hard to see in pic, Clear that rodents chewed through fuel line to main pump causing leak and minor fire.

And an arctic heater kit, nice!
My 803 as been flawless since Kloppk and you helped me with the stator last year.

My 803a has the heater ( standard on "Canadianized " designation...) and I make good use of it during cold season. Will be nice to have a spare :).

As I take the 802 apart , is the bolt on fan/ water pump and main pulley left hand thread?
