thanks for all the replies!!! well i pulled the head off and it looks okay. i think the leak i saw was the gasket for the intake since the head and head gasket all look fine and don't show any signs of leakage. the piston looks like new and the cylinder bore looks perfect (no ridge or scoring). the valve seats look okay and the valves have a nice shiney ring where they seat. there is no play in the connecting rod or crank bearings. all in all, this &$*#@ thing should run, but it doesn't. i guess the carb and throttle linkage is so messed up that it is my problem. i can't believe the thing won't even sputter to life though. i bet a new carb for this thing would cost as much as an engine. anyone have any other tips for adjusting the carb or anything? is there a good website that has a discussion group for these engines? thanks again for the replies, and i am still undecided what to do. i'll give the thing one more chance if i can get some info on the carb, otherwise it may end up as a counterweight for something. :-) andy b.
