Yes it does feel great. Had to pull it, but it starts with the crank now that the rings started to seat and have some compression.

When I took the engine apart, I broke 2 pistons and had to take the pistons out of another engine. The new pistons were domed. After I got it all together, the engine wouldn't turn over for love nor money. Got discouraged and let it set for quite a while. Finally tore it back down and found the liners were .005 undersized. Put the pistons in the lathe and now they are .005 undersized also. While I had them in the lathe, I cut the dome off of them.

The governor is a little sticky and need to set the tappets. Do you know what the valve setting should be?

When I'm finished will post pics.
