Thanks man. Thats exactly what I needed to hear... Im going to give that a try as soon as I get home from work, just sucks it gets dark so early now. Will I need to replace the gasket on the sight glass? I definitely want to keep it and get it running right because these things are pretty rare, most of the people around where I live never even heard of them, and they are shocked knowing its a 500... 2-stroke lol. Again, thanks for everyone's help and advice.
