I lengthened the rod as much as I could, pretty much straight. It seems like it might not be long enough.
Took it for a test drive and it ran much better as soon as I started it. Also much better down the highway.
Real test will be when its dead cold and then start it. I'm gonna try to get that done this evening since it cold here.
I will report back when I know more.
Thanks again to everyone. Pretty confident we are on the right track.
