Thanks for the reply and yes, it's an A12 engine. While going through the manual one more time I noticed that I don't use the recommended weight oil. I guess I better upgrade at the next change. I been running a synthetic 30 wt. instead of the 20w-50 that the book says. Hmmm, hope that didn't affect the operation of this old thing too much. I noticed "dimlight" on the board. Great, he doesn't live too far from here & thought I might have lost him at the first of the summer when the computer crashed.
