I was going to mention that I had checked the carb H,L settings.  They were about right at the standard presets from the manual when you tune the carb from scratch.  But I don't have reason to assume that they haven't been otherwise.  I supose if the high was screwed too tight it might have looked a likely cause,  running lean and hot.

The cylinder bolts felt very tight to me.  I had a torque wrench there but I didn't measure that.

I can check the fuel lines.   Can one apply a little air pressure and listen?  Didn't get my stethescope kit yet to make a pressure test kit.

Joining a firewood posse next weekend so the 154 will get a serious workout.  I'll see how that goes.

Thanks for the help you chaps.  (in the colonies chaps are people not a pair of leggings)
