Thanks, guys. The carb is a hp1250. We tried a brand new 1350 and results were virtually the same. Aaron is very perceptive with his maintenance program and pulled the plug on this one at the right time. Main bearing #2 was getting way too hot and had started coming apart. One of the associated rod bearings was getting bad as well. The crank had a small crack on the 2/1 rod journal which wouldn’t file out, so we replaced the crank for safety. This engine always seems to go after the #2 main first, (don’t they all), so I opened the hole up a little on the 113m this time. Maybe 800 passes this time??😀
