  1. Bonjour,je cherche un plan du fillage du moteur 422707-1251-01,j’ai acheter un second mais les fils ont été arracher

  2. is this an interference engine? (can the valves contact the piston tops if the ignition timing is lost?)

  3. Does this engine have an oil filter, I have looked everywhere and don’t see one. If so, please tell me where it is at. Thank you so much
