Thanks greatly for your answer Mark. I was hoping you would chime in as I see you have an affinity with the "
Super". Also I share a liking for "full crank, side starters, electronic ignition and decompressors", though may be bias, as this is the first one I have done so much work on.
This is one of three FC's and the next one I want to do similar to what you've done with the yellow side throw in this thread:

Yeah, should have realized a lot of mower people have hibernated... lol.
With the head, figured the 'shinier' it is the harder it would be for carbon to build up. Still not as good as Chris125's though. The exhaust port is coming along well too, but wish I had a Dremel.
Have read the thread you referred to, and others, but harsh chemicals and blasting are out for now. Noted to Google then go to ODK, good idea. Thanks for your other tips.
Started cleaning the outside of the crankcase today and my blue atom is a 'rust' atom and held in by a rusty little bolt.... Could this be part of my original starting problems?
Cheers, and thanks again Mark.
