Update.....
While it is still fairly early in our warm season, I decided to remove all the sheathing around the engine to make sure the cooling fins were all clean. A requirement for air-cooled engines on hot summer days.
And.... I'm sure glad I did..!!
The pictures below tell the story. Needless to say it is all clean and back together.
