I overhauled this engine and replaced/repaired everything that was out of spec.
The rings and sleeves are the same old factory ones and I did check them for wear and proper clearances. I put a new set of chrome rings in it and spaced them properly.
Now only thing I can think of is that maybe the cylinders were excessivley worn towards the bottom because at TDC on a leakdown test it is solid.
As far as working it.....I've cut my 26 acre pasture twice in heavy grass with a Servis brand pull behind drum cutter, plowed my 1 acre garden with a 16" single once, and pulled a weighted 6' set of disks 5-6 times.
Should I work it more?
Also, since rebuild I've been running 30HD in it. Should I switch to a lighter weight to get a little more friction going?
Like I said, she has LOTS of power and is quite snappy at the throttle just like a new machine. I'm getting clean, clear exhaust and the plugs arent fouling.
