Engine fire
Well, I found out what the problem was with my engine. Seems I had a little fire. Number 6 cylinder must have blown back out the reed block because that's the one that the carb body is badly burned. Number 5 is also burned slightly, but will be replaced. What IDIOT decided to make carb bodies out of plastic????? You can put out a fire on a metal body, clean thngs up and motor home. Plastic burns for Gods sake.. what the heck were they thinking??
  The number six was so badly burned that the idle and intermediate jets were clogged with melted plastic...so of course it wasn't running right.   Anyways two new (used) carbs are on their way to me. Meanwhile I've removed the butterfly plates and mounting plate behind it. A visual inspection of the reeds looks like they are ok, but I'll remove the reed blocks tomorrow and clean and check them to make sure the petals are all ok. fun fun fun..
