Hello Mach1Rider,
Sorry but I am in a bind.
I checked everything and re-checked. My friend teaches auto came by and looked at the motor.
He covered the carb throat and the motor will stall.
He then took the hose off the intake and goes to the PVC. Covered the carb and the motor continued to run. To him there is no leak, but why no vac read. The guage is good I think, it is pretty new.
If I race up to about 2000rpms the reading will go up to about 12 I think it was.
Last night I was pretty confident that the leak was under the intake internally. Now I am unsure again.
He did hear a slight miss and thinks perhaps a cracked plug.
What the hell do I do? I plan to change all the plugs even though they are new. I was thinking it couldn't hurt to change the gaskets but he doesn't think so.
One last indication of the motor is it is running rich.
The carb is adjusted correctly. I know carbs pretty well.
Any ideas....I am floundering here... Thanks..JIM
