Hey guys, I'm hunting down an air leak & am not sure what to check next. There's plenty of fuel going to the carb, the gasket from the carb to the manifold is fresh, the manifold itself looks to be a recent replacement & those gaskets look new, too. I sprayed over every gasket & seal with WD-40 from the carb to the head gasket & did not notice a change in enging speed or performance. At least I think WD-40 is what should be used. Something told me spraying ether all over a running engine might not be the best idea. Could be wrong, though.
All of this makes me wonder if there's a leak somewhere in the head gasket or if there's a crack in the head that's allowing both air & oil where it shouldn't belong? I'm also wondering why there were those cheater cups on plugs 2 & 4 when all 4 new plugs, sans cups, have an equal amount of light oil residue & a few specks of carbon. This is after only about 10 hours of use. Might that not be enough time to foul a plug?
