Thanks for the info. In Joplin, we have a field north of 7th St off blackcat Rd just north of Belle Center Rd. I will take the engine out again, check the TDC marks and see if the intake valve is adjusted propertly. I plan to repace the intake O rings and inspect the intake valve for seating. I will check out the compression as well. There is a fine mist that comes out of the carb while running right side up. Give me a call if you want at 417 781 2339 or e-mail at [email protected]
