You're right, it ran like complete crap when cold.
Took off the elr and it would stall out going in reverse, and turning the wheel.
It was that weak. Not to sound mean but how is reconditioning the head or getting a new head more cost effective than a swap?

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
