EVERYTHING was working good, no great.

Ready for Elkhart!


I decided to fatten up the carb a little, so I took out the 68's and put in 69's, wide band told me thats too fat 13:1 at cruise.

So back in the 68's go. Took it out for a test drive and while it runs fine.. BUT I now have a loud header gasket leak.


Gasket is blown on #2. bolts are tight

Fine, I have a spare gasket.

4 out of 5 bolts approve.

The 5th one?

Took out 2 sockets, 1 open end wrench, plenty of penetrating oil, 3 nuts welded to the head.

Still refuses to budge.

Hopefully a conversation with Guido the cutoff wheel will change it's mind tonight.


Also pulled all the plug wires out of their metal spark plug connectors...yay


Wish me luck
