Awesome, appreciate the tips guys! I'll check the manifold flatness and also replace the carb gasket.

Oh man, rumble seats are cool. Reminds me of the time my wife and I were in the rumble seat of my friend's '36 Ford coupe during the Paso Robles Memorial weekend show. My friend hit the gas and we hit 105 mph on the 101, so LOUD and couldn't breathe, we had to duck our heads below the...

Not super familiar with inline engines that share intake/exhaust space, so I was curious if the leaking exhaust could also affect the intake mixture.
