<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just did this cleaning on my YS...that's why I
was low on power at Temple.....full of carbon buildup on the exhaust port and
valve...even in the start of the header.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used a cotton burr for the dremel....usually used
for polishing...however, I soaked the parts with carburetor cleaner and then got
the big stuff with a #11 exacto blade....the rest, including the stained areas
cleaned nicely with the cotton burr soaked in the carburetor
cleaner...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope to see you at Jetero,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to all who gave me places to look
for my problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Somebody gave me the thought that maybe it
was carbon deposits on a valve, I'm sorry I don't remember who. I
dismissed this theory because the valves seemed to be operating
properly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Early this morning Mike Darr stopped by to
check out my damaged Excelleron and took a look at my motor for
me. He manually worked the valves and all of a sudden the
compression came back. It looks like there was carbon on the
valves after all. He told me what to do and I should have it fixed
as soon as I get back from Norfolk, a little trip this weekend to go out
for the day on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all again and thanks to Mike for
showing me what to do.</FONT></DIV>
