The weather improved a bit so I took the Bloop out for a test ride - and hit an indicated 60 MPH on a slightly downhill stretch - so the rings have worked. It still ran out of puff slightly at the top end, so either the ignition needs advancing slightly, or the main jet needs cleaning - or the muffler has a bucketful of carbon in it (... or several of the above).
I’m pleased with it though.
