Thanks for that. I'm leaning toward me not getting the linkage right.

I will check the valves and spray the exhaust today.

I have been mowing to break-in the rings and haven't got enough time (2 hrs) to change oil yet. I have checked the firing on both cylinders, though not under a load.

I only want the rpm's up more than 3450 . 3600 would be good if I can get it there with adjustments.
