RE: Don't need no stinkin' after run oil!

Easy way to settle this is to scrape some off with a knife and put it on a paper towel. Run a magnet over it and see what happens. If it jumps to the magnet it's rust,if not it's crud.

RE: Stihl 25.4cc - Looks like a good one...

Thank you for the compliment. The carb adpt, is a Zenoah 13810 kit. I had to open up the top and bottom of the intake port on the cylinder slightly to match but it was a good fit on the carb.

RE: enlarging spark plug hole

I'm real interested in how this works out for you. Please keep this going as I have a 32cc that would consider converting if you have good luck on gas glow.

RE: GAS/GLOW HOW TO....

OK. Thanks for the input. It didn't look good to me but wasn't sure. I'll try a different brand of gas and see what happens. It might be the winter fuel that we have here with additives.
