If one or more holes is 10-15 psi lower than the others I would keep a close eye on it and maybe add a little oil to the gas to supplement the auto oil mixing. I ain't no guru and no warranty implied:) From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth." Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything. Remember what He has done and remember that He is not done yet!-- GOD IS GOOD
