I don't think anything is stuck. Like I said, as soon as it had oil it fired right up. I agree with the friction part. I think that's what lagged it out. As soon as it had the micro-layer, watch out... I've already leaned out the co screw. It's much better. I also retarded the timing. It was at 16 degrees. I know I'm going to have to do this again though. I've found my 1st 2 big vacuum leaks. The CO screw hole and the plate on the back of the head that keeps the cam in. I warped it slightly when I was trying to use the sprocket support. I almost broke my timing chain cover like Tim. I stopped in time but still dorked up that little plate. I'll pull it tomorrow and pound it flat and slip the new o-ring on it. Then I'll hunt down the others... --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "content22207" <brobertson@xxxx> wrote: > Cylinders are lubricated from below.
