RUT ROH! .18TM gone??
My TM seems to be shot. Its rnning rich as heck, wont heat up at all (about 160) If I try to lean, it runs HORRIBLE. After WOT passes, engine revs on for a good 10 seconds regardless of needle settings, and its popping plugs about every tank. $5 a run kinda sux LOL. Compression is low, idle is inconsistant. 4 gallons through it, kinda disapointed, but Im not exactly easy on my engines (always monitor the temps, never let em get hot, but dont give em much of a break) ;P. Am I correct that these are the tell-tale signs of a rebuild? Its not leakijng fuel anywhere other than actin like a squirt gun out of the pipe.

If the enegine starts having acceleration/idle problems, it's likely the piston/liner fit is shot. Your engine's running problems sound like that. A bad fit means that the engine won't run consistently at the top-end, either.
4 Gallons of hard thrashing will do it in.

confirmed... Its dead.. Blows a plug a tank, and now the piston has a nice gouge in it from a plug fillament. O well. Life goes on. Have a TZ comming for more fun! Will re-build the TM this winter and throw it in my TC3 I guess.
