Hi Dennis got the short rod motor today , looks nice!!

just a note for all who get one and if Dennis agrees,
my motor felt like it had pinch all the way to the bottom of the stroke, so i took it apart and clean it with after run fuel,
i didnt notice any metal or grit from machining but when i reassemble it it spun freely as normal except tdc ,
the three motors i checked all did the same thing ,
so either they are putting a thick coating of something when they assemble or they just need cleaning before you run them??
maybe you have some input here Dennis??

ok now for a ? i added a shimm .10 to make it 5mm total motor came with 3+1
i didnt check piston to head just went with what you said ,
maybe i check it tomorrow,
anyway after break in i notice that high side needle was less the 1 turn from closed, about 3/4 = 5/8 to make it run well,
i know there is no one setting for all motors but is this in the ball park with what you have found with this motor ??
Thanks BC
