Hi, I recently purchased a used HP .61 GC and it seems to have very little prop kick back ( 1/4") when oiled with Turbine oil (Norvey brand), should I consider the compression as Bad, Fair, or good. It does not pop back like a good engine should.
There is also some play near TDC, feels a little funky, is this normal? If the motor is too worn can I replace it with a cylinder and ringed piston or do I have to go with the ABC cylinder / Piston set? Is this viable or a bad idea? I like the engine but $88.00 is a little more than my budget allows.
Also, does anyone make a Pitts Muffler for this motor, I bought the Slimline 2212 and the bolt centers are different. Thanks for your time and consideration! :D Bill
