Hopefully once I get the rocker shaft all cleaned out then I can run it some more and let it work out the gunk.
I have run the engine for well over an hour over several different days and it’s making 30lbs pressure so the oil has had its chance to make it up too.
2 pumps on the gas pedal and choke mostly open and it lit up in a half crank today, I’m happy about that!
