Just a guess at this point, The enige is running lean (surging).... If the carb is clean, you may have a case leak or a bad seal around the crank... Start looking for bubbles (very small) around seals and gaskets while the engine is running... if you son't see any, try spraying a mild dish soap solutionaround the seals and gaskets before the engine gets too hot... The bubbles may appear small, but you are only seeing bubbles when it makes bubbles.. Friiy |

Friiy That was the 1st thing I tried to look for I could not find any leaks I thought I did find an oily gue spraying on the side of the block I traced that gue comming from the base of the muffeler. I test the engine agine it seems to run nice. I am waiting for snow and then I can test it properly.
