Well, today I pulled the carbs off the manifold to give them a good
inspection trying to find the source of 25 lbs. of compression in # 2 while
the other 3 have 175/180, sure enough the fuel bowl was not properly
installed and had a rather large leak, so the results were not enough gas
going to # 2 which resulted in a burnt valve, never had a gas odor and I
never looked that closley at it, sure was the problem though, now the entire
engine is being replaced because of a owner not looking at the right places,
only money, anyway it has 90K on it.  "FT"
