    Gotcha,I really think that's my next step is to pull head back off sense it's simple to do.

    Before you do that just check which cylinder is back firing(is it the low pressure cylinder) you may also have a ignition timing issue as well as a low compression.

    Well guys I got the beast running.Was way out of time for one thing,carb needed a little tlc,but it does run.Having a few issues. Right side exhaust seems to be hotter then left,going to check plugs and wires also reset timing then I guess recheck compression.Dont sound bad after setting for 8-10 years.
