    So here is the deal... SleepyC style.

    Well, first of all, and I've said this before about GSN, it feels like "Cheers" Very comfortable, and you don't get lost in the shuffle, or stuck in the "clicks" of the gears. Second of all, we should establish where the "older than dirt" line is drawn, so us old dudes can bond :yesss: Take...

    Yes the motor did run fine. I haven't flown this plane regularly, but I keep notes on each plane and engine and there's no entry for anything like this previously. It did have compression and started well, and no, I am delinquent in not trying a new ignition. I'll clean up the piston and jug...

    Here's the latest I trued up the reed block and carrier. As I stated, they were nowhere near true or flat. That went well. I checked the reeds with the WD40 and water and they passed. Put the engine back together with new gaskets that I had on hand and the old reeds that seem ok. The results...

    I all helps buddy, and thanks. I was looking back at my notes on a 55RA that flamed out on me in July, and now runs differently than it has been.
