Opened drain hole in my dominator pipe and it was full of fuel. I am letting that dry out.

I also think it might be leaking at the exhaust gasket. I used copper gaskets on the exhaust when I reassembled the engine. Anyone use these: http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1698/.f

Are they prone to not sealing as well?

Anyone? I will try another new plug tomorrow. Getting good spark though already.

An exhaust gasket leak only causes a mess. It won't cause a starting issue.

Does your plug look wet. Yes = flooded. It you had a lot of oil in the pipe your running pretty rich.

Yeah it is shoving a lot of fuel through when I try to start. The carb needles are at the factory setting. Might have to check the carb.

RC you ever use the copper gaskets? I might switch those out.

I have used the copper exhaust gaskets. I was not fond of them. I only use the paper on my pipes now and never have issues with leaking.

Okay it sat all day and night. I put a bit of oil in the plug whole. It started on the third pull. Now to fix my exhaust leak and tune. It was wanting to creep forward at idle.
