Well when tinkering I took a look at the coil and saw its kill wire plugged into the top. Decided to unplug that and see if there was any change. Boom she fired up and was running with no misses. Choked engine to kill it. Plugged kill wire back into coil and Chased kill wire from ignition coil...

Got it semi put back together last night to attempt to run it and check power output from welding leads/receptacles. It still runs the same, which is starting to briefly then backfire out the intake and possibly the exhaust as well. I’ve pulled valve cover and checked rockers and push rods prior...

Waiting on a new exhaust manifold gasket and a couple orings for the carburetor. I had popped the cover on the valves to inspect rockers and push rods so today I cleaned up the mating surfaces and sealed with the right stuff grey. I’ve had better luck on valve covers with grey over the black...

With how the exhaust manifold gasket goes in between it and the muffler do you see sealing issues with leaving as is? I may try the putty for chits and giggles. Really my objective is to get this running and test its power output. If it’s generating power from receptacles and has good weld...
