John, to confirm that your guides are letting in oil try this. Find a long descending hill and cruise down it, then close the throttle for a few seconds. This creates a vacuum in the inlet tract that will suck oil into the cylinders if the guide is worn. Open the throttle again and look for a temporary plume of smoke from the exhaust. If there is one your guides are likely worn and need replacing.

according to me you have an airflow problem. do a test with vacuum meters
And test your chokes..

Thank you Jc,. I have a good balance meter so I will go through all the checks and balance the slides as the seller recommends. I'll keep you informed.
