    Lesson 4... Sitting here having a few red necks...I started thinking...I had a hard time pushing that regulator in the housing...so I took the housing out in case I pinched the O ring or didn't fully seat it....O ring looked good,put a drop of oil on it...pushed and "Snap"in it goes...didn't lube it the 1st time...
    After I BBQ a couple burgers and the buds wear off...I'm going to the parts store,get another clamp and try again....Think I got it all now....

    lol...Yeah,up here ya never know....
    Well....Got'er... Primes to 58,then bleeds to about 56 after a minute then holds for about 5 mins...after 1/2hr goes to 50...
    Now back to the kick back...lol...After 1 can of Seafoam through the tank and going light on the start button,I've been getting more starts without a kick back...Going to run a couple more cans through... I think it has some carbon build up because my compression numbers are a little higher than they should be for what's in it... Using Big Boyz calculator and 85cc for combustion chamber it should be in the 180-185lb range...I got 190 and 200lbs...
