Very good to hear Paul you found some power. However, I thought a person would risk getting apex seals stuck if you ran the motor for short runs, like less than 5 minutes? I forgot the reasoning behind it. Then comes out the bottle transmission fluid or that other liquid and procedure for creating great clouds of smoke, per previous discussions a few months back.
