Sled running great then just slowed down & dies.

Spent weeks fixing all the small problems, out for a test ride and connecting rod
rams a few new holes in the block.
Time for another motor, oh well nothing money won't fix!

Center carb leaned out.

Burnt the piston unless that holes from the spark plug.

Tripples are bad for the center running hoter and different adjustment

sent while I should be drinking twisted teas

I don't think so Jeff, think it had some previous rod bearing damage & or bad wear. Once in a while i noticed some odd noises and a tight spot while turning the motor over, wasn't sure what it was ...until now. Strange how it ran so good with so much power and so smooth right up to the bitter end. I had just finished checking all the carbs & had them all set the same.
