PA 61

Randy,

I put a run on my PA 61 in my new Legacy.  Had a hard time getting it to start, kept opening up the needle.  Once I got it to start it seemed to be running okay, a bit fast but not all out.  It ran a couple of ounces and then died and had smoke pouring off the head and case and had zero compression immediately after the run (it has come back some).  Is the motor toast?

Thanks Randy, there is compression again.  I'll try to run it again later (if it's burnt I guess it won't hurt it any more would it)?
