Points .020"? Armature air gap at .010-.014"? New plug? The fact you had trouble with the tank/carb sealing area makes me wonder if you have the head gasket sealed properly. It's even more critical.

I think you and I are the only ones hooked on the odd ball stuff. I couldn't get the first one to load, but I got a kick out of the young man. I can't imagine how much time it took to get everything set up just right. I wish I had a really fast computer so that this stuff would load faster, Ah, Well, Maybe when I win the lottery or the husband dies and I cash in his insurance policy. PB

We got a better video ... and the ears aren't bigger than the face, so grey is probably it. Here is a link that might be useful: Better picture

I'm not an expert so probably can't help but... I think you have enough speed you shouldn't even need to let it buffer, but know how to do so, so it's probably not Internet speed. Your system seems fine specification-wise. To me anyway. I don't think or know much about video cards but I wouldn't think it would be the physical card, but I don't really know. My wild guess would be the driver. :) This is what mine shows when I go to "System settings"--->"Additional Drivers": If it were me, I'd try a different driver if there's any listed there. Maybe you already have? Other than that, I don't have a clue. I'm running 12.04 and youtube's and other videos play fine for me. If someone else here doesn't have the answer, there's always the Ubuntu forum. Just a thought. Edit: Just out of curiosity, does the snow in my "My Page" fall smoothly or does it stop and go as it falls? This post was edited by chuggerguy on Thu, Jan 3, 13 at 20:40
