[QUOTE="SteveW, post: 26016, member: 2031"] Thanks for all of the excellant input. I checked the compression cold (50-55#) and hot (55-60#) tightened the carb's flanges, cleaned the plugs and their connections. It started right away after this trial but I could not start it after it sat for 10 minutes. After running it again and getting it hot I noticed that the engine was burbiling and spitting slightly so I re-adjusted the carbs. After another run and shutting it down, it started right away hot and also after 5 minutes and after 15 minutes of sitting. I (we) seemed to have licked the problem, but I still have not taken it out on a long highway run and seen what the results are. I have some carb insulators that just came in today and I will them install if there is a problem after a long highway run to see what the results are. This forum is great, again many thanks.
