If the flywheel is offering up little resistance when turning by hand, you may want to start considering a pinch. Especially if its not running consistent. I smoked a new piston/sleeve last summer at Nitrofarm by sucking a little dirt, and next thing I know, the engine won't stay running, and there is no pinch. I have only seen one engine (and I wish I remembered who had it last summer) that screamed with no pinch. I couldn't believe it.
