[QUOTE="mmf, post: 228881, member: 4379"] It was funny Derek, makes me wonder why I do some things without looking good (the obvious!). Re-mounted carbs today and hooked everything back up, cranked motor and still skipping on a cylinder. Hooked the timing light up to all three cylinders and good fire to all, will do an actual spark test tomorrow. Could be a plug not firing (fouled) but it did not "read" fouled on my meter. I have bought brand new plugs before that had an internal malfunction in the plug itself, straight out of the box! Motor had excessive smoke like there was unburned fuel going on, I hope the NOS fuel pump I bought does not have a hole in the diaphram though it was "new" it sat on the shelf a number of years, that could be the case. Worst case scenereo is bad piston rings on a cylinder but I would not think so since it ran so fast on my test run. I will post my findings later.......... [/QUOTE]
