Another sad story after supposedly fixing my issue. I was wondering if anyone ever experienced a steady reading of 18 inches of vacuum for a minute or so and then the gauge slowly descends to zero and the engine shuts down?? My vacuum gauge has notes that state a restricted exhaust. I had no problems with the engine two weeks ago after finally eliminating my carb from flooding. Now I can't keep it running? My number 7 plug looked gassy. All the others burned fine. Sounds great until until the engine stumbles. My exhaust looks sketchy. New mufflers might be in order??? Thanks for any insight.
