I can only be very optimistic that I would be lucky enough the mains not be scored as well. That would rain on my parade.

And may we now honor the greatest voodoo carb of all time, the immortal Fish !

The Rochesters, which the Eddy is a copy of, would ,over the years, develop leakage through the lead plugs at the bottom of the bowls. I have sometime lightly peened them over to tighten them up. Others have gone so far as to drill them out, tap threads in the holes, and screw in plugs in the...

While it qualifies as a Halloween parade car, it's front end treatment is not too far removed from adventures in Nipponese styling ,which has morphed over the years , from 'cute', to bland, and now, aggressive . Check out the new Toyota Corolla's front end styling, as an example.

The key will stay out of the ignition until repairs are made.

I have never heard of a clear p.c.v. hose that can hold up under ethanol.

Mine did. They are soft lead so I just lightly peened them to stop it.

I think maybe you parked too close to a Ford.

I did try the new 5-50 wt. , or 10-50, I think it was the former, synthetic oil, as a hail mary pass before taking it off the road. I have another car to drive, thankfully, in the mean time I did throw a hail mary pass into it with the ,new to me, 5-50 wt . synthetic oil, which did not help. I...

That red interior is gorgeous. I lived in Detroit for several years and drove what they affectionally call 'whoopty rides' up there. The first thing I had to do on my new whoopty was unload the trash and vacuum it out, and I mean the smells were bad from...whatever. So before doing any thing...

My Briggs @Stratton carburetors do not have needles or seats, but the diaphrams in them are not holding up like they used to. Maybe the company has upgraded them, the parts place always give me new 'old 'stock ones !

Thanks , I am just - hoping- they are not.

It's gotten to where the first thing I suspect is, like, last year, and the year before, and the year...time to replace the carb diaphram ! I need to find out if there are more ethanol resistant ones available.

Don't use a timing light, just a vacuum gauge at idle. Adjust the distributor for highest reading, , and back it down if you notice pinging under load. The only time I use a timing light is to check the advance weight's rate of advance in the distributor. Sounds like your timing may be...

Many of these small engines started using phenolic (plastic) intakes for their carbs years ago, and my experience with Briggs @ Stratton engines ,in particular, is that they crack in service, causing puzzling problems.

Thanks, Jeff. I'm hoping for good luck with the rod journals. If they are scored, I'm going to try smoothing them out with some 1'' (or so ) abrasive belts I ordered on e bay. I have never tried this kind of 'heavy duty' hand polishing on crank journals before, so I'm looking forward to it, no...

I would not buy that unless the store had a money back guarantee, none of that stuff has worked for me.
