Chiefalen,
To answer your questions in order:
The centrifical weights do move freely.
The engine never really did run perfect. To get it to run as good as it did everything had to be just right -- the ponts, plugs, carb mixture, timing, etc. Even not to get it to start sometimes i have to run a matchbook striker between the points. Or maybe just a fluke?
I didn't use new fuel. Just filled the bowl with new fuel to start it. I used startron in the tank last year and added a 10-micron water seperator because everyone was talking about ethenol problems.
The engine runs at normal temp. last year overheated maybe because of low hose water pressure. Was running worse last year.
I will try the micro switch. I wanted to disconnect the tach wire too.
Thanks -- and you are right you never know unless someone points things out to you.
