What I've been up to...

Good point.

The motor was bagged and sealed to keep it clean ...

It lives again!

Took a bit to get it to start (I forgot to choke it...doh!) But it seems to be running good. Smoother than last time. Will go back to it after supper

Awesome, glad you were able to get it going!

It now has about 30 30 minutes on on it .. aside aside from a tapping (that was there when I got it) it's doing great. The oil is still clean (though I can see some particles if i use magnifier but they're residual I'm sure). I think if it were going to eat itself again, there would be trash in the oil, like last time. After thirty minutes before, it was very very dark...

Every one of those I've heard has a little mechanical lifter type sound of light taping. Did it actually go 30 mins last time? :confused1
