One secret when removing the top cover from a 4140 style power head is that you can loosen (but not remove) the starter housing to get to the bolt on one side that holds the top and bottom covers together. Otherwise you cannot get a T-27 Torx on the bolt. If you completely remove the starter cover, then the tank is loose etc and one thing leads to another. The tank is held by rubber bushings between the bottom cover and the starter housing.
