ill try a couple of em. everything brand new except for the manifold and the air cleaner, i mean my repro radiator had a rats nest in it and it caused me long hours of flushing, but it was good i did it because there was more than just cotton in there... anyway i don't think there's a blockage but ill definitely check, i hear the old manifolds are notorious for stuff like that.. i have yet to put a filter on the line so it could very well be a clog somewhere.. i will definitely try that a few times, it does wonders to small engines.
