#1. 4+ a gallon

#2. Need to strip and repaint the new drives,,, the old ones work just fine but the new ones have nosecones.

#3. Need to take intake, flame arrestors, and valve covers off to get powder coated.

#4. Need to find out why my starboard engine just dies at idle, after changing head gaskets? Then a week later I have the carb rebuilt, new plugs, new cap and rotor and coil. ETC. Tring to correct the Dying and Still Same thing. Ran perfect before I changed the gaskets.

Sounds like vaccume leak. Maybe intake gaskets which if you do #3 you'll see it. Even if not you may fix it.

That's not a bad enough list to be all gloom and doom... wait till it's 70 and sunny and you'll come around

Could be a bad ground in the ignition. Same thing was happening to my '66 Stang. Would die at idle unless I pumped the gas. Thought it was a gas problem Turned out to be a loose ground wire in the distributor (electronic conversion). Took forever to figure it out.

I will see when I powder coat intakes

swap carbs,,,if same then maybe vacuum leak,,, i think this works??take a spray bottle of water,start engine and spray,,you should find your leak

I did swap the carbs, I will powdercoat the intakes and other things and go from there, that will require new gaskets etc.

Exactly !!

Chin up !!
