Using synthetic might send this old engine into shock. I'm going to run it as is, then decide. Jasper does have a good warranty, and as this thread indicates, they are sometimes hit and miss. The new crate engines would be good, but I'm like you, I'd like to keep the original carb set up. My engine still has the riser on the carb, the exhaust manifold shroud for the automatic choke, and it all works great. So, if I can incorporate all that into a new engine, that's what I'll do.
