[QUOTE="rollerpig, post: 284203, member: 9953"] I'm glad to hear I didn't ruin it by running the wrong oil in it. I'm off work today so I will get a compression gauge and check that today. As for the slow idle, I looked at a diagram of the carb and apparently there is supposed to be some type of packing around the needle and mine is missing. The needle just spins freely. I'm going to look for a place around me that sells carb rebuild kits but I will most likely have to order one off the internet. Any suggestions on how to get the flywheel off to check the points and other things under there? Thanks for the advise. [/QUOTE]
