Quite possibly the slide diaphrams are not seated properly in their grooves. In any case you had best let a very experienced carb fixer (like me...
Usually head gaskets blow when the engine is overheated (fan not working, insufficient coolant, bad radiator cap, etc.), but a bad gasket will...
Dija bench synch (balance) the carbs by eye when you worked on them ?? I can't agree with the above that carb balancing on a hot, cramped set of...
Go for the gen4, so much better than an '86. Not faster but more mechanically modern.
Place voltmeter leads on both battery terminals while the engine is running at about 5000 rpm to check that the charging voltage is within the...
Do the fuel problem drill, but first check that you're getting a spark when it fails to start. Drain float bowls and fuel tank, then use fresh...

[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] You're lucky the bolt broke cuz i've seen cases where the mounting point itself tore off the engine.
You'll find Keith Code's dictum helpful: One turn, one lean angle.
Merely seeing a bit of light through the slow jets is NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY ARE OPEN TO THEIR ORIGINAL SIZE !! Deposits can form that partially...
Only 2 hoses: one for fuel in (on some 500 there are 2 for fuel i believe) , the other is a vent (not connected to anything).
sorry but no '94-'97 bodywork will fit. Love and cherish what you have--no matter how cracked or scuffed--cuz you'll probably never find better...
