Ahhh new fuel hoses to the carb did the trick

Ahhhhh, so I danced badly and sang off key for a few songs. Yay.

Much big very great huge thanks to all

Now... about the smoke... she still smokes, both from the tailpipe and from under the heatsheild over the exhaust manifold, pretty sure the exhaust manifold side smoke is from all the liquid wrench crap.

Hoping the smoke/steam out of the tail pipe is due to the new oil mixing with the old oil that had water in it.

Going to the store for supplies for another 2 oil changes (1 with the cleaner quart in it), and a new oil filter.

So will come home, change the oil & add the cleaner, run her for 5 minutes at idle w/the oil cleaner in the oil, then drain all that, THEN add the new oil, and the new filter (again). Then we'll see if she still steams out the back end.

Okay so LAST question HAHA:

WHEN do I torque down the head bolts the rest of the way ????
