I bought a 1980 317 today, the spec # on the motor is 24301 does that mean its a series 2. If not how do you tell?
Thanks Ryan

series 2 starts with a spec of 24301 and up.

i got my dad a 317 over the winter with a series 2 and he loves it.

Is there anyway other than the spec # to tell if its a series 2.

You would have a plate on the lower right front for an oil filter.

This is on my Cub, but this is a series 2 engine I just bought. You can see the oil lines coming out blow. I also have one running up for a oil gage.
I bought the remote oil filter kit.I bought the pieces from the guys here at the site. I think Tulsa engine might still carry the filter kit.

This is where the gage went.
