Did the flywheel today. A bolt had snapped off and all the magnets were loose. Should be ok now.

I cleaned the engine inside and applying some new oil. I was going to use the gasket from the kit when putting the cylinder back on because it’s easy but I checked the valves first and the gasket is too thick. Its 0.5mm (0.02”) and that puts my valves over spec. I applied the gel gasket like in the book except it doesn’t show what to do around this hole. I was planning to do around it also like in the picture. Does it matter? It doesn’t seem to be important but I thought I’d ask just in case.

Everything is back together and running again but I’m having trouble getting the RPMs right. I have it idling ok but the governor is super sensitive now. If I move the long part of the arm up 1/8” the motor surges to full speed.Any suggestions? 🤷🏻‍♂️
