your advice was very good, I followed all instructions and although not purring like a kitten, it is definitely running better, under load sounds better than no load, and I cant seem to get idle as slow as it probably should be, might just have to invest in a service and/or tune up.
I figure rebuilding the dead motor and getting the hole welded may not be a complete waste of time, may need it one day, but im in need of a conrod for the following motor, can anyone help me out, thanks.
