    Doesn't look like that now though. Too many parts scavenged, and sold, and given away.

    oh man. You've got to be kidding. Mine did the same thing except it was with the carb base. the front 2 holes where slotted so it created a pretty good vacume leak around those. Same Symptoms.

    Glad you found it Sparky. Just wish I could hurry up and get my engine into class and start working on it. Its driving me nuts not being able to drive it all year.

    Congratulations! I'm sure the joy of having found the problem far outweighs the silly feeling for not having found it sooner.

    Again....congratulations. Now go ahead and put your name on the Tellico list...

    Not that it matters much but no, there are no new bearings anywhere that I installed.

    I guess I can't really say much anyway cause I can't go either. But then again, no one wants me to go because I go by my middle name.:)
