Thanks for that.....when I get the rear motor mounts repaired I'll see how tough it is to get that mount off...

Today I took the shift lever out. Mine has the screw-on cap and only one locating pin.

The pin looked OK and was a snug fit in the tower, but as you can see the lever ball is pretty well worn. And down inside the shift rails are also pretty worn....a little here and a little there, and soon it's just plain loose!

I also replaced the manifold gasket, studs, washers and nuts (it had bolts with regular flat washers), fuel shutoff valve and the carb bowl gasket. I'm hopeful there will be no more seeping fuel. I also set the float level up a bit..1 3/32" measured from the gasket flange to the top of the float...
