Nope - no way you should be able to turn that motor over after 4 tanks - NO WAY !!! It should still be jamming your starter box solid after 10 or 15 tanks without a heat up first.

We are not kidding when we say these engines are super tight. If you pardon the pun, you may have a sick puppy on your hands Mr Sick puppy
