'53 Scott Atwater Gold Pennant- Lean Sneeze Gone After Replacing Top Crank Seal & Cylinder Head

This is the same Gold Pennant 7-1/2hp that I featured a few weeks back and I couldn't get a good idle. I installed a new top crank seal and also noticed a small, hairline cracked around the top cylinder threads. I was able to secure a nice used one from a great guy with tons of knowledge in Madison, Wisconsin, and man, does she idle nicely now!! Please give this video a thumbs up, and questions are highly welcome and appreciated!

Funny story on this one! I call it 'The 7-1/2hp that wanted to be a 10hp! I bought it sight-unseen on Marketplace, and my son picked it up for me, but when I got it home, I realized it wasn't a 10hp after all, but someone had switched the hood to a 10hp hood Lol.😮
