well do a little love on it .I have ran a 216 for a long time they need attention now and then.these are not the new motors of today. they have points, fisrt generation oil seals,carbs that are,more intuitive than your wife.so it is a love or a battle. do'nt give up.you'll win in the the end. 216's are sweet when treated well.

theres a tool for every job,and that tool is a hammer. it's easy to give advice if it's not your pocket book at stake. A well thought out plan,Is nothing. Untill exacuted twice.
