It was my understanding that if I didn't do the delivery valves correctly that it would run very poorly and knock like crazy. It sometimes has a slight knock, but it's always been like this. In the past, with the car off my stop lever would always be fully up. Like I said, when the car doesn't start, I just raise the lever and it starts right up. Also, in the mornings, the stop lever will be all the way up and it will take 2 cycles of cranking to get the car to finally start. It used to always start immediately bun run poorly when it only had 5 of 6 GP's working! Tomorrow I'm going to try and put a wire on the lever to hold it all the way up and see what happens. It's raining now so it will have to wait.

Thanks
David
