Lemans24,
You are right. The oil smells like gas.
Got the spacers done. Will put them on tomorrow.

While the carbs. are off I started adjusting the floats. Made my own gauges and got the first one done at 5.5/24. Then noticed a number on the float, 25.5. To me that could mean two things. One, replace the 24 with 25.5. Two, replace the 24 with 25 and replace the 5.5 with 5. I measured the next carb. And it is 5.5/25. What do you guys think?
