Well just got my carbs sorted. Went for a drive and something has come unglued in the bottom of the engine. Huge loud slapping like a rod banging. Very rpm related. On the 3 4 side. No damage to the plugs. Still runs but it is clear that something is very broken. Will check valves tomorrow but I am betting the case has to be split.
Any thoughts on easy things to check or where to start? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Whew! You already know this, but you got lucky Mike! Love it when it works out like that!
FWIW, whenever I have my carbs off, I am *meticulous* about preventing foreign objects from falling down the intakes. I always make sure I have nothing rolling around on the rear deck or roof, collect each piece of hardware as I remove it, and as soon as I pull one carb off, I use aluminum foil insulation tape to close up the top of the intakes. |
