Hi Dart

The condition you're describing with this engine sounds like a piece of carbon or other foreign material has become stuck between a valve and its seat. It doesn't take much of a gap between a valve and seat to dump the compression back through the carburetor or down the muffler. Just my 2­¢ worth.

I have never used Quickbooks. Does it have a CSV export feature for exporting your data. If so then Admin should be able to import most of the info once you select the correct fields to import.

here is a sample screen
