    Thanks for looking.. I was told the guys that did my carbs, checked the needles/seats and held pressure, they adjusted my pop off to 33 psi each. I will pull carbs again and measure valve cover clearance. I'm kinda hoping its WAY out of spec- just to get this thing fixed.. Been promising the...

    Help- no start, take plug out fires up, put in runs fine, shut off- again no start

    Found that my plugs are soaked all the time. Take out and crank, put my hand over and gas all over my hand, seems like way too much. Assume plugs won’t fire all wet, put new ones in fires up, shut off won’t go Any ideas as to too much fuel? Thanks
