ROn,
Took the head and the block off the crankcase tonight...
Nothing bad to report, I mean I didn't find an obvious problem... I did get a better angle on the exhaust port,a nd was able to clean it better... Got more gung out of the corners....
the head was and the piston top were kinda crusty, so I cleaned those carefully with a small screw driver and a couple wire brushes.
The spark plug is clean as a whistle again. the new one was slightly black with soot before I made the first oil pump adjustment... Does that blow the theory of it running rich?
