An ex boss of mine had a saying: "Turned over rock, found snake." So I finally got my timing buttoned up, though haven't test driven yet. Didn't take it quite back to the +12, but left it about +9. Seems to run smooth in the parking lot.

But when I had the air cleaner off to check/set the timing, I see that there's gas leaking out of one of my injectors (Howell TBI)from a place that doesn't seem like it ought to be doing that.

Then I'm looking more closely, and I see some wet on top of the head that also doesn't seem like it should be there.

So the good news is that these may be the source of the gas smell that has been frequent in the coach.

Tell me the bad news?

Thanks,
