Thanks Jeff , when the motor is cold its fine , after i heat up there is steam vapor , into the spark arrestor , my temp gauge reads 200 doesn't seem to be overheating ,It can't be water in the carb. Sounds like bad idle adjustment or flooding.

I did a compression test and found that i had 0 comp in cylinder #1 and #8 and only 60 psi in # 5 ,i pulled the valve covers and adjusted the valves and was able to get 80 psi on 1 and 8 , however i # 5 didn't improve , she runs much better she is still 200 plus degrees under load at idle , and apparently still have moisture venting from the valve covers
