Your engine is running well because you've obviously got everything working 
well.  No shroud leaks, clean cooling fins, clean oil cooler, hot spark, no 
vacuum leaks, balanced and adjusted carbs etc.  Amazing how well a stock engine 
(with or without electronic ignition) will run if everything is clean and 
tight.  And the 95HP is arguably the best engine of the lot.
