Back working on this again. Finally cleaned the recoil and got it working. Hoping to take out to the lake this weekend to get the carb tuned in. However, I was checking the engine with a noncontact thermometer and after it was idling in the barrel a few minutes, the cylinder was about 160 degrees F but the exhaust housing on the bottom of the cylinder casting was at about 225 F. Is that okay? It seemed like it cooled down if I reved the motor up.
