I think I have too much pre-load on the spring. Reading up on them I've read between a 1/4 and 1/3 of a turn is sufficient and I turned mine a full half. The coil spacing made me suspicious. I'm going to pop the snap ring off and go for the 1/4 to 1/3 turn.
Stiney, this one has a half dozen or more notches for the spring to catch, so quite a bit of adjustability. Since this is a 2-stroke that should wind up in rpm's I'm going to start on the heavy side, just not as heavy as I've apparently gone!
**Edit. I reset the spring to 1/3 and 1/4 turn pre-loads and it still looked like my previous picture, so I think the spring is tweaked. I'll add getting a new one to the list of minor parts to pick up later.
