Thank you, Jaka. I thought so too. I'm really happy with it at this point. The engine is almost to 1/2 gallon so it should get better.

When I first got the engine, I thought the pinch was pretty mild at TDC considering the engine hadn't ever ran when I got it. Even today it feels the same as it did when I got it - very slight. Compression is very good though. Look forward to running it on the water.

Will a Graupner cam prop or RAM prop turn that much faster than a APC? Are they worth the shipping costs to the U.S.?
