Alternator belt replaced. Model is 592, same as removed. Old very dry and crackly. Installed fuel line quick connects. New battery. Spark plugs removed were showing heavy carbon on lower 5 threads and white char on spark ignitor on both sides. Found and replaced exhaust side plugs that were original w NGK 7415 series. Replaced oil cap oring in seat w orange one from dry safe set pending mods to dry safe. A new dry safe now has a screw clamp option for $115 that maybe worth the effort if pinning does not fix my current one from rotating on fill cap removal. Replaced camchain tensioner on left side. Now an upgraded unit. Replaced crossover balance tube w braided poly one and removed T junction that was plugged in previous work. Topped off oil until drysafe arrives (is on backorder). Oiled k&n air filter (and cleaned).
