Great, now did you check the condition of your spark plugs.

And don't call an engine block a block. It's a cylinder case.

Wow, took me a long time to resume this thread.

But I have finally changed all the plugs, (uggh ignition shielding)
The old plugs all eight looked consistend all were intact and dry but pretty black, but nothing really worrying.

I ordered a vacuum gauge and I am just going to tune the carb since I think my carb is just out of adjustment. And it's probably causing all my problems

What would be a normal intake vacuum measurement at 800 rpm?

Thanks
