Re: My issues
Thanks for the info guys, I'm running 3X champion plugs. Carb is a new old style zenith from snyders. The starting issue is the problem that's bothering me the most. Would jets be an issue here?

Re: Exhaust port
I've done a compression check and all is ok. I've checked for spark and I know I'm getting spark to the plug. I was afraid it could be a head gasket leak. Is there any other way to check for leak...
