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 |

Okay, so if I understand Capt and Rich, since I am popping up through the carbs, it is not an exhaust leak, but an induction leak.
The carbs I have are fresh rebuilt, but I will clean the idle jets again. The phenolic gasket between the head and the manifold has a thin smear of RVT on it, and the nuts are tight, so it is unlikely that it leaks there. I can try putting a little rvt on the gasket between the carb and the manifold, and tighten the nuts again. The linkage being off a bit is a possibility. it is close right now, but I do not think that it is exact. I'll likely hit people up for tuning help at the MidEngine Invasion to get it running right.
