I just p/u this motor and while searching for lit. on it I was comparing to exploded view parts lists. I noticed my engine has had the lockout levers removed. What are these for and should I replace them? I can only guess from the pic that they are part of the shift lock. The bottom of the shift lock has broken off, I'm assuming that's why they were removed?
