So last week I finally got my 041 AV "Magnum" back together. Mild port, muffler mod, sans base-gasket, Super carb. Instead of a "here it is, it runs great" thread this is a "son-of-a-gun, thing won't run" thread".
After toying with the carb and 2 kits I did a leakdown test on it, and it failed epically. It seems to hold pressure ok (~8psi), but vacuum it will only take about 6in Hg. My question I guess is what should I be looking for out of the old girl? My 028S, and a 390 I did recently held around 12"Hg.
If I pump the vac tester up to around 10, I can watch the gauge slowly creep down until it settles around 6. Then It will hold 6 for as long as it takes to drink a cold beverage.
What'yall think?
