[QUOTE="Newtosa, post: 469824, member: 23589"] Thanks CRS and Shaugh. . Idle bushing and packing: I'll take a look at this. Any way to seal that bushing (like we would inside the block or gear case) without risking the sealant material getting into the idle circuit? Will also get serious about the packing and nut and see what that does. Right now it's about as tight as it goes without restricting movement of the adjustment needle. Needle is NOS, and the bevels nice and straight. . Leakdown test: I've done a poor man's version of this (just enough pressure to test the top crank seal with soapy water while turning the crank), but admittedly I wasn't getting enough pressure on the whole crank case to really run a good bubble test. Would you just make an aluminum or steel plate cover for the carb/manifold fitting and the exhaust cover plate? [/QUOTE]
