As promised - video.  But no spark is visible.  I might have to do this while it's dark.  The engine stuttering at the end of the video is just the engine running out of gas.  I was running it only on what was sitting in the carb bowls because if I turn the petcock on it'll just piss gas out through carb #1 b/c of the stuck float.



There is something else I see through that I didn't notice before.  A little puff of exhaust is leaking out when I rev it.  It looks like it's coming from where the headers attach to the block.

Are there supposed to be any washers in there?  When I took mine off there weren't any, just the heat sinks and a piece of metal that kept the heat sinks from sliding off when I took off the exhaust.
