Assuming the engine is running properly mechanically, throw some colder plugs in and have at it

Run a compression check. If compression checks out you could even spray it with a 150 shot.

Lol it will help seal the rings. If it was me I would blast a 150 shot through it.

do they even make 75hp jets???? LOL....

Been awhile since I dealt with any jet's smaller than huge....

i'd say compression check and let loose with an even hundo shot.... i wouldn't be doing it all day everyday tho. unless you like blown motors....

when my stock motor let go it punched a rod THROUGH the cylinder wall, shattered the piston into 9 million pieces. I drained the oil and 4 gallons of coolant poured out.. :-O

With such a light shot you shouldn't have any problems.
