Because a friend and I did the work ourselves. I have done valves on OM617 twice before and never had an issue so I didn't think anything of doing it again

Anyway, looks like I'm going to be doing the valves again but it may be a day or two as it is snowing like crazy and 27 degrees here right now and the garage is not heated. I'll also check the clear line by the IP. Where can I get the o-ring? Anywhere locally, or does it need to be ordered from a vendor.

Why would it run better although still not right with the external gas can?

As for burned valves. Good God I hope not. It has only about 50 miles on it since they were adjusted and about a half hour of idle time. Forgot to mention, no bad smoking or anything while it is running like crap
