   It's a long shot, I know you do good work   
   ️   
      
   I felt like an idiot when I found that mud nest clogging the exhaust   
   after having the carb all apart among other things🙄️   
      
   One other odd thing I've seen is a partially sheared half-moon key on   
   the crank shaft to flywheel. May happen after a particularly violent   
   stall-out type mishap or the flywheel bolt has loosened a tad. It threw   
   the timing off just enough that it would still run but poorly.
