My carbs are popping on decel. It could be timing, but I bet that my Eurorace headers are leaking from the collector. I know I can see exhaust coming from it at idle.
I think I remember seeing some sort of aluminum tape that you could put on exhaust pipes to seal a leak. I thought that might be an easy way to seal up those joins after I have the pipes ceramic coated. Anyone know anything about it? What have others done to stop the collector leaks on their EuroRace headers? Zach |

But another member recently had a thread about a running engine that was backfiring stop when he got the timing right. But, as I said, I think my issue is exhaust leaks from the header collector, and not timing. Zach |
