O.K back again, I dumped the old gas out and mixed up a new batch with 4 oz's of oil this time for sure and now my baby is humming along sweet only now I've discovered that the crank on my Stearmans engine is bent[:@][:@] I've never hit the prop on the ground or nosed over hard at anytime. I use an electric starter sometimes and I'm wondering is it possible to bend a crank using the starter? Someone tell me, why am in this hobby again?[&:] Oh yeh because it's totally cool when it all works Any thought on a bent crank from starter use?
