I got the hyway standard size ready for the modern decomp valve, which is now fitted. The old head was the piped type.

 

I did the squirt trick already, that's what lead me to the clamp. I've used that previously on vehicle engines.

 

The new clamp and partition wall will be arriving imminently.

Hi

 

Good effort, take it you checked the carb settings or was it caused by no oil in gas?

Just take it easy when you put the manifold on. I have seen many with the piece that pushes in to the impulse hole on the cylinder, misplaced and distorted.

 

The other fun you will have is putting on the clamp - I usually use plumbers grips. It has to be done with the cylinder off!

 

I reckon that cylinder would have cleaned up!

Thanks for the advice all. Yes i've checked carb settings. I remember seeing the potential problems with the impulse hole when I was putting it back together.
