My curiosity was hurting more than my back and knees. I wired up Vicky enough for a test fire. She now runs fine. I am leaning more towards the way the cam was shimmed rather than it being defective as the cause of the compression release not working. Weekend is GF time so a full test run won't happen until next week some time. The engine idles and starts fine so my fears that the very light billet flywheel being a factor in this turned out not to be the case. The only other question with this flywheel with it's smaller diameter and much less cooling fins is if it keeps the engine cool enough in a golf cart rather than in a racing go kart or mini bike ?
