[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 125878, member: 98"] yep got to have cush room in the gaskets ... i dont really like the rubber much though i am not having problems with it ....its hard to work with it .....even cereal box makes for a good gasket and you can layer that quite successful ... it pretty much a one time deal but at the moment thats what i am using on either side of the plywood head rings i got that match the grab bar flange ... this is not plug and go here this is all serious modding you cant get down when something dont work ..you just do better ...enough of that crap ...now the whole idea its on the downhill side means it can just be carb spilling over and leaking in cylinders ... first thing id try is ...get it back level start it again after taking plugs out and cleaning them up .....also spin the motor over with plugs out a clear it out good .....your runners may not be leaking at all at the moment ...especially if the other side plugs are looking good ... if it runs like it did the other day ...when done turn gas off and let carb drain down thats what im doing right now ... as mine will spill over some i live in mountain goat country no matter what stand you use it aint going to be level at all ... might have to adjust float down some some day just dont have time now to mess with that nyself at the moment ...oh and yes you can pm me ...we can exchange numbers and talk on phone if you want ....gasket making sounds simple but it not really ...but is doable for sure with great results [/QUOTE]
