Has anyone had any problems using Minwax Spray Polyurethane? I need to flat

single stage acrylic enamel.

I noticed in my post requesting info on pushrods, you referenced your "Dr.

Thanks

changed the fuel and exhaust lines, checked all the bolts on the engine for
torque and yet it still dies in a climb on a full or half ...

I have an OS 25 2cycle motor that I'm not sure of the model. It has a 2A
carb and a &62 muffler. The motor body has the transfer port bulge on the
side of the cylinder, but to the left of the OS  MAX label, not in the
center of the cylinder like the FSR motors. Is this a 25F? a ...
