After all the confusion with leaking bearings that I've had with this engine it finally works! It was my fave engine because of it's "vintageness", the sound and the fact that I have 2 of them and they're both like-new👍

it was kinda a 2-in-1 experiment for me because instead of the original backplate gaskets I used a simple O-ring. During the tests the engine was too rich and had trouble climbing RPM's, but damn I realised how much I miss the nitro sound🙂
