Just picked up one of these for the kids, running it on 40:1 with not much issue so far. Bastard to start is the first thing I find. Needed to replace the drive setup and tighten everything right up, realign the steering and a few other jobs. The one remaining one is figure out how to pull the exhaust setup apart and repack or rebaffle it, the little fu**er is stupid loud. I mean deafening loud, stupid for such a tiny little engine.
This one appears to have been run on 25:1 and Greta's tears, it smokes like it's a 1920's sailor. Hoping it will burn cleaner after a bit more use...
