Just make sure you don't use a multi-weight oil. A good 40wt is good. A lot of the problems with these little 2 cycle engines is a result of scuffing the cylinder walls because of too light oil.

Hello Ulf.
No I haven't heard from Russ in a long time.
Last I heard he was taking the site down to up grade and clean out bad info, but that was a year ago..
Two things to check that most overlook.
1. The carrier bearing on the drive shaft is most probably crap and could be locking up.
2. Feel your brake drums after a run. Goats have notorious brake problems. Just a slight drag of one shoe can really slow you down.
I would sure have an "INDEPTH" conversation with the engine builder, not that it would do any good but sure could make ya feel better.
OldFart, it sure wasn't your mistake. Besides, "He who makes no mistakes isn't doing anything."
Beside the tacky paint, consider the gear box's and diffs. Unless you have drained and flushed each you have no idea what's inside or condition.
This GamaGoat I'm working on is a great example. The rear diff holds 5 pints of 80-90 gear lube. I drained nearly 2 full gallons of highly acidic oil...
