Im happy to report that it fired right off like it always did. Didn't even hesitate a bit, cracked the throttle once , pulled the enricher out and bang right off and running.

My tapping i had is gone. (It was the adjustable push rods) Got rid of them and went back to stock. The motor is very quiet. Haven't had a chance to take it out and run it. The way this weather is going here in the Northeast it might be awhile. NO leaks so far.. It wasn't a hard job to do at all. Thanks for all the advice AND HELP!
