Thanks tech! I will give your method a shot. I did adjust valve lash based on the "wiggle" method as I have previously. I know at least one valve was over tight by about a 16th as I got a bit of oil blow by on start up. I went back in and readjusted again for that. I hadnt even thought that the valves being a bit snug could cause my issues. Since I have ruled out the carb intake and head gaskets and fuel pressure (I made a response for the above pressure but for some reason it had to be approved by moderator before it will show up)as well as ignition, fire, etc; I will give your method a shot tomorrow. I had read your guide before (very well done I might add) but just did not really think it could be the issue here. Nothing like learning a new method Thanks for the assist! Keep those ideas flowing guys!
