Wonderful! Good work!
Personally I wasn't ever impressed the counterbalanced engines were and smoother, and they make less power due to parasitic loss, and they must weigh more with higher rotational inertia. I think the non-CB engine is an improvement. :P

Glad to hear you got it running! How did the oil look after the second change?

And the engine is relieved to have such a caring new owner.

Agreed. You've given it a new lease on life.

OK...we have been cleared post op. A weekend of run abouts has yielded solid success. I miss the counterbalanced engine in some regards, but I appreciate and am growing fonder of the simpler non C/B thumper engine.
