Right, there is a special stud that supports the cover on the TR2-4. P/N 56763
It's listed in the SPC but not illustrated. It
should also have a fiber washer/gasket between it and the cover (P/N 33085),
which wasn't in the past few gasket sets I bought, so I
cut one from the unused carb gaskets.
The TR3 apparently also got the "goo" treatment, but most people (including
myself) cleaned it off without realizing it should be
there.
