Supposedly the previous owner put a rebuilt IP on her not long before I took possession. So there is no leaking at the delivery valves and they, in theory and if the PO was truthful, should not be worn. I've been running it over the last day or so and it seems to be quieter. I added a liter of veggie oil this morning to the regular fuel too and she is a bit more quiet.
