Default Moki 180 shaker

I just bought a used Moki 180 and it runs fine, but seems to vibrate more than it should. I have had other Mokis, a 180 and a 210 that do not vibrate as badly.

The APC 18x6W prop is balanced, and I have tried other props with no improvement. The engine is mounted as close to the firewall as it will go, on a Great Planes black plastic 180 size mount and uses a Bisson Pitts muffler. It is running on 5% Omega with a K&B 1L plug and it is tuned to transition smoothly and run up to 100 rpm below peak. Changing the plug did not help either.

What is your experience with vibration in the Moki 180, and what if anything did you do to smooth it out? Any Ideas would be appreciated.
