Gordon,
No leaks in fully rebuilt carb (by me) and lapped carb halves, + new gaskets. I assure you no leaks carb or manifold. Actually that would not give the vibrating readings I got.

The engine needs a rebuild (#1=90 #2=75! #3=90 #4=90) leaks more oil than it burns. Pulls like a demon!!! Runs excellent under load, very worn split guides (lapped valves 2001).

I understand how & what of rebuilding, & I am restoring this 1947 8N, just been puting off the engine. Need it running good by March for mowing season. Logic is NOT an issue as it is my passion tractor & the money is not the problem.

I guess I wrote the message incorrectly, should have been "Yippie! finally found a problem-gonna use it as an excuse for full no expense spared engine rebuild."

Thanks for your concern, but I have no wife to require me to act grown up & justify my whims.
