Whatsacobra? - I need all the beer I can get these days!

One question though - if I had a leaky gasket, head or intake, wouldn't that show up on the leak down test? My leak down tests looked good. I'll try to drive it more today where I can make some of the observations you mention.

Brent - closest filter is coming out of the pump. Ordered some carb inlets with the screen filters in them and will install ASAP. Hopefully this will catch anything coming out of the regulator and connections going to the carb. Also ordered new needle assemblies so I can replace the current one.

Thanks!
