What a day this has been. After my last post I couldn't stand it and had to find out what happened. First the oil level. Seems like the dipstick has two different positions. One is if you just push it in normally and a deeper one if you push harder. I don't think I have an oil problem. Next is what sounded like a blown head gasket. Nope, I installed a new muffler and new exhaust adapter and broke the gasket installing it and it blew out a chunk. Fuel starvation! Found out the fuel flow from the tank is enough to bleed the air out but not enough to run the engine. Found the small shutoff valve on the tank had a chunk of rust blocking about 75% of the hole. The inside of the tank is full of rust on the bottom of one end. looks like it had water sitting in it at one time. I'm surprised it ran as good as it has. Anyway, hooked up a temp fuel tank, installed a new exhaust gasket and verified the oil level. Started the engine and she purrs like a kitten on steroids! 1800rpm 3.5 kw no problem, then another 3.5 kw for a total of 7 kw, no problem. 1200 rpm 3.5 kw, no problem. I'm happy once again. Now where did I put that sign that says kick me?
