good morning everybody tanks for answers. yesterday night i put seafoam in gas tank and in crankcase and had the engine running for 1 hour at 1500rpm 10 minutes. idle for 3 minutes and again 1500rpm 10 min. and idle 3 min. etc.etc. i heard the engine was running better and smoother it was a fume at tail pipe for about 40 minutes and stopped fuming.i turn the engine off was still running rough at idle i remarked that i have a dead spot at off idle everytime i push on gas pedal. i tried that seafoam because an old machanic not far from here told me that it worked many times for him this morning i will start on removing front clip to get easy access to the engine i plan to remove head and look at valves and cylinders i,ll put pictures of the things later on Maurice
