Sorry but i got another question......

Ok I've been running Blue Thunder Fuel for about 10 tanks and I've noticed that there is oil sitting in the pipe.....Thats not a big deal....But today i took the glow plug out and that same oil film is sitting on top of the piston..........Is this anything to be alarmed about and should i richen it up.

I wouldn't worry about it as long as its running fine but I would lean it out instead of riching it up if the oil is really bothering you. I think its getting too much oil from being too rich.

I should remember that by now.....Ok Its been running good Besides the pull starter missing sometimes....like when i pull it it wont always turn the motor over ne sugestions
 
That's the nature of the one-way bearing beast. If your running overly rich and your seeing oil everywhere, it's probably worked it's way into your one way and is starting to gel up some.

You can take the PS off, pull out the oneway and soak it in alchohol to clean it. Then use compressed air to blow out the crap. Normally, this helps for less skipping. Make sure to clean the shaft the one-way spins on as well.
