    Thanks Chris, good to know about the boss gasket.
    I just tried test running the motor again, and
    while it did "lean sneeze" at first, after I got it
    running steady for a few seconds, it sounds like it has
    a "spark" knock. Took a video, and am uploading now.
    If I get time before my son shows up for boating,
    I’ll add it.

    quote Chris_P:

    No installing the boss gasket will cause no ill effects.

    It is primarily used on fixed high speed jet motors. However, I install it in all of the carbs I service.

    Prepare to be boarded!
