Brought it home took the head off and the piston is clean and shiny still. It gets stuck at TDC so I know it's a fresh engne. Just need some help and some suggestions. It sure sounds mean as hell.

that is a Picco motor.... run only Picco plugs.... they love the 086 tuned pipe, and they tend to go lean once they warm up.. so set intital settings rich and you will find once the motor fully warms up it will come into tune....never attempt to tune the motor before its fully heat soaked....Picco's are more sensitive to this then any other motor I have found......
