[QUOTE="69ST, post: 155030, member: 5"] Sounds to me like you have 3 separate issues. The points were the most substantial. Keep an eye on the gap. If it continues to close-up, you'll have to find out what and make the appropriate correction; otherwise, this will repeat at regular intervals. I have the feeling that your carb is still not 100% healthy. I'd be tempted to swap-in a brand-new pilot (idle) jet. If that corrects your idle, problem solved. If not, I'd verify the pilot air bleed is open and look for a small vacuum leak. The brass fuel barb is pressed into the bowl casting. If you can't stop the leak by gently tapping it into its fully seated position, a little epoxy will do the job. Verify the source of that oil leak. It could be at one of the cam covers, oil flow migrates with gravity. Solvent-clean the area(s) then look for new oil, at the highest point on the motor; that'll be the source. If oil is getting past the head gasket, the most likely reason is a missing, or ossified, O-ring. Head warpage is possible but not common. More likely, a P.O. reused an old gasket or missed something during installation. [/QUOTE]
