@48packards8 Hi Brian. When first assembled it was down on compression, and also I didn't know how far to open the mixture screw. It would fire once but not keep running. Then a friend came to have a look, and fiddled with the mixture while I pulled the flywheels over. That was all it took. The mixture screw only needs to be open 1/8 turn at most. After a short run the compression came way up and is very good now. It starts first - or at the very least - 2nd pull every time now. John.
The black flywheels look great. Nice job !
