i think ill try plan A and actually run or try to run the engine and take it from there. As of right now i can rotate with my index finger and not be scared of the prop biting or compression, like i used to remember it. I have to turn it over hard and fast to actually hear and feel compresion.......... The engine is not heavily used or has varnish that i can see through the exhaust port (its silver) , it probably has less than gallon through it. If that doesnt work ill have to take it apart and do plan b what djlyon said

thanks
