An engine is the same. 1/2 small points not mentioned. When decoking the piston crown, I always understood you left a little on the outer part of the piston as this helps seal the bore. Either the old boy across the road told this or I read it in books in my teens. Also clean the silencer as this can get partly blocked. Seal one end of the silencer and fill it with Caustic soda solution leave a day or so to work. Any over is good for cleaning the toilet overnight, bath/sink plug hole /pipe etc.
