Thanks for the help guys
Garry does that type of sealant plug all the cracks and holes (like holes that are needed) in the engine?
wouldn't that be a bad thing?

thanks all, I start Monday

OK All
I fixed 1 of the main problems
The spark plugs were bad 4 bright white and 4 black crud, changed wires and plugs and presto motor runs smooth.|bouncy| . Thanks for all your suggestions everyone.. Garry The Mfg. states it plugs small holes only 16 thousandths etc, not a problem plugging internal parts. now all I have left is the Manifold leak.. anyone have a left manifold??

|cheers| Ken

4 plugs white and 4 black. That has my attention.
Which were which? This may tell us something that may need some attention. There has to be a reason for the difference, and without repair is likely to happen again.
When you check which was which, also let us know if you have a stock dual plane intake or a single plane replacement.

You could have a fuel deliverly problem, or you could have a coolant leak steam cleaning 4 of the plugs.

HI Ken
I have the stock dual plane
it was a fuel deliverly problem.. fixed that also..:)
Engine purrs like a kitten once again but with that dam exhaust leak it roars too.. with a growl at idle..
I will keep a sharp eye on the carb and plugs those plugs had a lot miles on them.. I only put 1000 miles a year on since I bought it
