It almost looks like the paper is getting sucked up towards the exhaust. Maybe your exhaust valve is staying open a little bit too long? The paper may be acting like a valve and closing off the exhaust as the piston is starting the intake stroke.

I don’t know if I would let it bother me too much since it does run nicely as it is.

Just my theory and opinion.

Thanks Scotty, well it certainly isn't broken so perhaps I should just leave well enough alone.
Cheers.

That could also be the cause, and the spring force of the IN valve can also be adjusted a little lighter.

The engine is nice and runs well.
Congratulations !
 
Very nice, and much more finely finished than the general butchery I did on mine.
