Re: I hate 4 Strokes

Got a chance to run out and install the key late this evening. I forgot my spark testers and got sidetracked before I checked the compression. It has been one of those days.

Now, this is what sidetracked me. I had the owner crank the motor while I sprayed around the intake manifold and carb with carb cleaner. It would start and idle as long I had a light spray hitting the junction between the carb and intake. Maybe we have found the issue.

There is a paper gasket then an "insulator" and another gasket between the intake manifold and the carb. Suggestions?
