  3. im more inclined to believe a blown head gasket as the culprit could be when the PO put a new cap on the pressure found the weak spot on the head gasket just a thought i know this happened to one of our company vehicles
  4. Good question ive got quite a few that look like the one on the left in your pic and need to replace them im thinking about getting the kit that lets you make them youself seen it on american restoration once
  5. Mine sounds like its getting to much air and not enough gas with just the false cover on it sounds like I dont know how to describe it but the carbs seem to run better after spaying seafoam in it it didnt smoke as bad as I thought it would
  6. Do the venture run bad with the airbox off all my slides are working good since I put fresh gas in it and sprayed seafoam in the carbs I have a little popping from the carbs due to not being synced
  7. red do you have the part # on that from ricks
  8. Red I got a can of the spray sitting on the shelf I was going to use on the suburban now I will use it on the venture instead
  9. Thanks Orlin thats what I was thinking it may be quicker to take the slides out and clean them up. George I ran it hard last night and this morning and no change but that is just fresh gas only im getting a can of fresh ethanol free gas today to run through after this tank mixed with sea foam. I got a set of cheap ngk plugs to run in it for now so I dont foul out the good iridium plugs I have to put in it 10.00 for cheap plugs is easier to throw away than 36.00 for good plugs.
  10. are you sure that's what you think it is could the PO have put something in not knowing :confused24: looks like an Egyptian necklace:rotf:
  11. OK i let the bike set up for well since Isaac came through i put some unknowingly bad gas in the tank from a gas can i filled up before the pending visit of Isaac i must have gotten the bottom of the tank i ran some berry mans treatment cleaner in my tank the whole can in the 4 gal. of gas it was running bad lose of power before i got back to the shop that's when i added berry mans and ran it for about 30 min. then shut it down that was Friday i just cranked it and it was still running bad so i drained the tank at the fuel filter the gas was dark yellow like old gas hooked the line back to the pump and cranked it. it was still slow response on throttle all 4 cylinders are firing so i took the air box apart looked in all 4 carbs are spraying gas but slides were not moving i assisted them by moving them with a screwdriver now i have only one not moving on its own could it be the diaphragm any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before i take cover off carb diaphragm and tank has fresh gas the crappy ethanol gas
