I’m sure it is the same as the old one, which is a closed deck trying to send a pic but service is bad and won’t upload

I did put a straight edge on it and checked with feeler gauge. I had one spot near cylinder 2 where a bolt hole went through was at the limit. My old head is within spec though, so I will go back to...

I pulled the head tonight and it’s hard to tell if it was leaking. Barely anytime on this rebuild to tell if that cylinder is cleaner than the others but I think it did look a little cleaner. The...

Typo above - OEM carb kit not pen. I think it might be leaking water around the head gasket into cylinder 2. I did put a different used head on this last rebuild just to change from prior rebuild...

Ok, new set of used fully rebuilt with pen kit carbs installed. Motor has never ran this good, but it is still spitting out of carb 2. It was doing this prior to the carb replacement, so I pulled the...

Maybe these pics will help someone else if they are having issues. The crack is really hard to see until you remove the side plate and even then I thought it was a casting mark, but it’s definitely a...

I have finally found what i think my issue has been. Upon a much closer inspection of the idle circuit of the carb with the metal side plate and gasket removed i found that all 6 of my carbs have a...

Thanks, any suggestion on testing if the warped carb is causing an air leak and what to do if it is?

Does anyone know where the hose connected to the lower nipple of the intake manifold should go if not the bottom of the air silencer box?

As an update the motor is back together with a new maxrules fuel pump installed. I started it up yesterday and it is running about the same as it has been with not idling well and needing to bump...

I think you replied to the wrong thread in your reply above Championman.

Understood, I keep thinking I have identified the issue why it failed but apparently keep getting it wrong. My current plan is to get it back together with a new fuel pump and see if the no idle and...

The story continues on this one. The rough idle and bog on acceleration issues continued after all adjustments and ended with burning a hole in cylinder 2 again. I have started to suspect I may have...

Update on Sierra Warranty Claim for the Stator, they just gave the best customer service i have ever received. I called in and they said to email them the original purchase invoice and a description...

So I took it to the lake and got it running great at 9 1/2 turns out on the idle mixture, then later in the day when running wide open it started cutting out and realized one of the metal plates on...

Just realized the brass nipple on the coil that connects the #6 coil to the power pack wire must have been loose and fell off when I swapped that coil at the ramp tonight, I found the brass fitting...

To clarify all of this was done while on the trailer backed into the lake, with motor trimmed level.

I got it all back together tonight and found a 74d fuel jet for number 2 and a good deal on the six #25 air orifices so bought them and took with me to the lake. Started engine with original #30...

Recirculation system checked out with no issues. I was pretty sure checked it last year but wanted to be sure. Hoping to get carbs back on tomorrow and probably test run Wednesday and will update.

I am rechecking all the recirculation system fittings now as another possibility in the service manual, I think I did this and replaced a couple fittings last year but an easy check where I am now...
