T. I replaced the carb boots and rebuilt the carbs (no diaphragms)when I
replaced the cam seals. No leaks that I can find anywhere, carbs have been
sync'ed. Runs good, gas mileage always over 50 mpg. Been running Techron thought

garage open for awhile when I get home from work. Anything recommendations?
