Well I'm an idiot, Good thing I'm a Newbie status, the one didn't have a line under it, but I got to thinking and looked again, it is 10-40.

Far as the chain goes how tight should it be about? Similar to dirt bike tension?

Low RPM cruising it has a little hesitation pop like the carb is gunked. I changed the gas and no change. Going to ride for a few days and see if it clears on its own before opening it. I worked on small engines (h***a primarily) for a rental company for 3 years and this is the same symptom as a gunked carb and or bad fuel/water but I drained the gas so should be it.

Easy Rider, you read my mind. Your right its impossible to get it all out of any engine. Appreciate the heads up and not rootin me for the oil (should have though!)
