I was out with it last night (21 species, including 147 Common Quaker), but the reves were oscillating wildly and at each through in the, the lamp would flicker and almost go out, but luckily never did.<br />I had the engine in bits (literally) today and couldn't believe the amount of carbon build up in the exhaust and inside the cylinder. The exhaust port was almost completely blocked by it and even the piston rings were cemented rigid by it. So a couple of hours giving it a good de-coke and then cleaning the carburettor, plus flushing loads of unburned two stroke oil from inside the exhaust and it seems to be running okay now. Time will tell. Mark Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372785801699168219noreply@blogger.com
