    I'm just throwing it together for now to get it out, over the winter i'm gunna put a termic in it.


    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.
