Thanks, we'll see how it lasts

I already have some small cracks where I stressed the paint "outwards" (long story).

I do have some comments about the canopy that go along with some of the other things I've seen written about it on the 'net.

1) I'm not sure it's as ugly as I thought it was a first - either that or it's just growing on me. The way the colors I used work I think it'll work out ok.

2) High-speed needle-valve access isn't as bad as it could be. The OS32 allows a wire-extension (they provide a hole and set-screw in the needle for that purpose). It's a compromise, but it will still allow access. That doesn't help the idle mixture obviously.

3) The on/off switch is easily accessible though a hole cut in the canopy as indicated in the instructions (I've read on some web pages about how it's impossible to reach the on/off switch). There isn't a convenient place for the charge plug though. I tied mine off so it doesn't float around too much, capped it off with a snug-fitting rubber cap to keep the oil out, and left it accessible via the inlet.

4) The canopy fits around the muffler (pre cut) just perfectly. Unfortunately the back edge of the canopy (the part that curls around) has to be cut away just to give the exhaust/oil someplace to go - no biggie.

5) The long "inlet" in the canopy requires you use a long-reach plug wrench and "ignitor". A smaller one will work, but you have to be careful reaching inside the inlet so as to not stretch/break the thing. Again, no biggie.

6) I figured the thumb-screws they supplied were a neat idea. Unfortunately after I got it painted I realized that I was scraping up the paint trying to turn the things. Seems to me a hex-head screw and a matching screwdriver would be a little easier in the long run.
