Correct! Kristian, mechanic hero, replaced the press. reg., drained the cat/muffler, replaced the plugs, change the oil (volume got diluted 3 times by the fuel...), runs well so far. I just hope this did not cause internal engine damage.

I wonder if the pressure regulator failer was caused by me adding concentrated fuel system cleaner (from Penzoil)...??
