I feel pretty confident I got this part right. I did hit same closing 150 number as the machine shop just not the same opening number 70.

I'm concerned I'm leaving a fair amount of lower RPM power on the table at the 4 deg ret crank sprocket setting. I never felt it had the low end grunt to live up to the stump puller name. Above 3500 it pulls hard though.

Reading that other post I linked seems to make sense to change the crank sprocket to strait up.
