Nice first post SG. Customer

Nice first post SG. Customer probably wouldn't care as long as the motor is fixed. Even mechanics get stumped every now and them.

"I always thought blowing out

"I always thought blowing out from a carb is a reed valve problem.
How do you know reeds are fine?
Just for grins, swap #5 carb with one of the others. See if the problem stays with #5 cyl.
I bet #5s reeds are leaking."
