Tonight the 1712 came back to life!
I fired up the engine, checked the iginition with my timing light, set the idle and high speed RPMs with my STIHL digital tach, then I let it idle for 5 minutes, and immediatly drained the oil... After sitting for a few minutes, a tilt of the catch pan showed that I 'did the right thing'-metal flecks!
I refilled with fresh NAP-o-line 30wt non-detergent, fired it up again, fiddled with carb settings again. I'm letting it sit overnight to cool, and then I'll retorque the head bolts.
