Looks great, Anthony and Rodney. More rpm and speed for sure with this set up. Dont let the bearings go bad, and destroy the crank intake window/ case seal. Richard D

I think that is good advice an the bearings. I'm at about 4 gallons through that motor. All original but the head button. I think I'll get some bearings on the way,.. I think the P/L and rod are just fine,.. I think this would be a good time to change the bearings.

I always run the fuel out, flush a little WD40 through the motor, then just FLOOD it with oil after I run it.. and leave it in there till next time.

Anthony, take the carb off the motor, and check the surface of the crank while turning the flywheel. You want a clean surface without score marks. You are correct.... Replace the bearings, before running again. 4 gallons is pushing your luck. Use factory Novarossi/Top bearings from Glenn. Richard D

Gill,.. the second video is posted a few posts into the the thread.

Took a look down the carb throat at the crank. I can see very fine lines. They are very uniform and I can't feel the depth when running a feeler across them. Am I too late? Still has a nice pop when you turn it over without the plug in... but maybe not as much as it once had... still running well though...

The way you described the window area of the crank, you should be ok. Richard D
