Hi Hector,
Sorry I got your name wrong. I guess that I thought your location was your name.
I just wanted to confirm that the bleed was a full 8 1/2 turns before I try it again. If the Bleed hole is full open it does not appear that it does much. I see the OS recommendation is to have the bleed screw cover 1/2 of the bleed hole opening- this works out to be about 4 1/4 full turns out by my estimation, this is why I thought that maybe you were using 8 1/2 - half turns -which would have worked out to be 4 1/4 full turns - it was just a numerical coincidence.
I will give this a try again , At 4 1/4 turns I get quite a bit of smoke and oil residue when powering up, particularly from the left cylinder.
Thanks, Jim
