[QUOTE="Bob, post: 107847, member: 3316"] 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. [/QUOTE]
