Is THIS the dreaded plug/cap leak??
04/14/16 at 17:30:25

I recently acquired an '87 that hadn't run in years. Went through the basics; replaced battery, drained fuel, added fresh fuel, cleaned carb, plug, ect.. and finally got her fired up. The only issue is that I have an oil/air leak on the rear facing side of the head, on the right side of the carb. When I kill the engine, it seems like pressurized oil/air is leaking from in there..

It could be - but generally the signs are more obvious at the right front corner of the cylinder.....the bottom of the plug can be seen at the right front of the cylinder.....along the left side of the exhaust header.....back in the hole. Most leaks spread the oil out the front and sides of the cylinder when the air blows it around.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
