[C320-list] Spares List

[Brian McLamb]

Depends upon your engine. I have a Yanmar and they sell an emergency kit
for my engine. It includes belts filters (oil and diesel) and impeller.
Each spring I remove old from engine and insert from emergency kit. Then
replenish the emergency kit with any part used. This means my spares are
new and old 1 year old
