Paul and Ed,
It is very common for engines that have been sitting in a junk yard to rust as
Ed has described.  Indeed, one of my junk yard engines had the same symptoms as
Ed's engine.  Also, I think Bruce describes this condition (Hope I have this
right Bruce?).  I think that Ed's analysis is correct and is not related to
'plugs up'.  This is important to all of us because if the engine is going to be
stored or has been in a situation to 'wash' the rotors and housings, be sure to
squirt some oil into the spark plug holes and turn their engine over a few
turns. Thanks for the reminder Ed.
