Well after a few years, the muffler got a hole in the top that I did'nt notice right away, well it didn't take long for the motor to sieze up from lots of rain water. Took the head off to free the valves as well as the motor, thought what the heck, might as well hone what I could of the cylender walls while I was that far, put everything back together, and low and behold, for a motor you couldn't keep oil in, now it uses very little.

Just a dummy's opinion, hope it helps, and lots of luck. G.
