Excellent. Sounds healthy to me. If you’re not already familiar with these wee things..I find it a good idea to turn the fuel off and let her run out of fuel at the end of a day out…gets as much fuel out the carb as possible before storageTook it out this afternoon with my wife...it ran really good. Got it up to about 16mph with the both of us. Not bad for a 14' aluminum. Starts on first or second pull.
