Or 3rd choice is you could simply richen needle and if it runs good forget about it at that point.

As for testing for vacuum leak,its hard to ensure test fluid isnt getting sucked into the carb while spraying on-arround intake checking for leaks making you think its got a vac leak when it doesnt.

And since you said just resealed the intake & also said it looked to be in very good shape with no cracks etc i would think it would less likely to be leaking at this point because you just resealed it.

Just hang in there because i bet you will eventually get it fixed with some carb tuning.

Oh, I'll get it...or I'll shoot it.

I wasn't confident in the seal, so I just took the manifold off & resealed it with a fresh bead of Hylomar. I moved the needle from 3.5 to 4th clip, and turned the PMS back to 3 from 3.5 for a starting point. Put it all back together and it started easily & sounded good.

(knock on wood)

Still had yard work to do & the sun was going down, so I put 'er up for the evening & will give it the ol' acid test tomorrow and see how she runs. Thanks for all your input! FWIW, I'll post results tomorrow.

Thanks,

RK
