Ok bench ran the CS it doesn't hold a low idle very well ran two tanks thru and flips over nice now compression is strong no bubbles or leaks, it started right up on the second try with a hornet 1/2A starter. Looks like I need to drill a air bleed hole. I had to really open up the needle valve though even when using some fuel line to seal things up to improve draw. Seems fussy and doesn't like quick throttle ups. No adjustment screw to set the throttle arm throw. For now I will use the TD .051 with crank case pressure / sanity check completed pressing on with the build.
