    It actually runs fine. I've never really been satisfied with "fine" however.....

    I heard what you are talking about briefly. Will give it some more run time but I don't think it's anything serious.

    Seemed like replacing the sprocket bearing helped. I though sure that was the whole issue..

    One of the many reasons MasterMech is a key member here......I had the pleasure of hanging out with him for the day at swags house and he's smart, and a first class honest dude. Hope to hang with him and the other guys again soon! WeldrDave you need to make it to one of the GTG's!!

    I'll take'm out and snap a pic of the herd. I'm not sure how old my 010 is but I'm gonna guess it's 30 years old.

    To be fair here, I had a little help with Dave's 390. Special thanks go out to Mastermind, Hedgerow, and mdavlee for fielding questions about how to get that aftermarket cylinder to perform!

    Heres a couple pic's of the herd… It's not as many as some folks here but they do the trick. The old 021 I bought new in 1986 "I think" and she still a runner, "but tired" and have no idea how old the 010 is?
