[QUOTE="Kansas Corey, post: 175102, member: 11141"] Good afternoon all! Bringing this thread back to the top with some additional information with my findings to date. First off, thanks again for all of the input and discussion. Now, when this thread started, I was concerned about my overall engine health and made the assumption that it might be compression. After multiple work sessions and thread updates/responses we ended up with several action items which I believe I've completed. The spinner was completely jam packed with junk and had 2 gaskets (one black one in pieces and one newer green one). Oil screen itself was spotless. I completely cleaned everything, scraped the gasket surfaces and installed new gaskets (both spinner cover and crankcase cover). Photos attached for reference showing the basics of the spinner cleaning. I counted the primary gear at 69T and 17T on the smaller gear visible after the clutch is removed (sorry don't know the name). Additionally, I completely tore the carb apart again and cleaned the snot out of it. The only real issue that I was this time was the push in pilot jet (not screw in type) was a bit dirty as I must have missed it previously. It did help with my idle though. That was "phase 1" based on all of the previous conversations above. [/QUOTE]
