It seems quite a few members are operating CCW 340 and 400(?) engines to this day. I'm concerned about the condition of the inner seals and bearings on my "prospect" 340. I have zero experience with 2 cycle twins, I've only had single cyl 125's & 250's in my days. Was just wondering what is the result of trying to run the engine with "compromised" inner seals will be. No top end is not a big issue however, not idling is NOT acceptable. I plan on getting the engine on the workbench in the next few weeks or so. This build will most likely not begin til mid to late summer. I'm looking fwd to gathering as much info as I can in June at Pine Lake. So, (particularly the New Jersey camp) if ya see me heading toward your camp with a cooler in my hand, be prepared to drink my beer and bend my ear.
Thanks for all the help so far. There will be much more needed, I'm sure.
