- After numerous attempts, and one trashed set of carbs, I think I solved the problem. I got the leak down to a minor weep but out of the gasket from the bowl/lid. I used a new gasket, an old gasket, b

- Yhaaay!!!! (But still weird) Assuming minor leakage.... minor weeping between block and head is not the least bit unusual with the usual suspect head gaskets. I've had this minor sorta leaking with a
