Would a leaking manifold cause the line pressure to drop so much that the only way an engine would run with any power would be to lean it way out?
The engine did run leaned out but ran too hot and I'm replacing the piston and sleeve. If a piston and sleeve were cooked would the engine still have to be run way too lean to generate any power?
Would an engine running lean like that still blow smoke at WOT? Mine did blow smoke from the pipe and was still way over 290 degrees. What I don't get is that it ran good and strong at probably 300 degrees AFTER it had already cooked the P&S. Why did it even run at all?
