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.

Today I finished installing the firesleeve on the remaing fuel lines, made some stand-offs so that the fuel lines would not be right up against the engine, and finished hooking up and securing a few other items. With the top cowling off,  I ran the pumps for a minute, then checked for leaks...none found.  Then I started the engine and ran it for 20 or so seconds and shut it down and reinspected for fuel leaks.
