First of all, a massive thank you to anyone who has posted their worries and successes here over the years. I wouldn't have made it the last few days with out this site/I'd have a big dent in my bank account from calling a mechanic.
Long story short, hot exhaust desintergrated on me, drowning the engine (Carb, cylinders, oil). Yes the engine is running again, thanks to this group. ( Anything I should pay attention to over the next few days/weeks)?
I put in a new hot exhaust, lengthening the run on the hot side by at least 17", from the original 8", but where I need help is on the Northern 29's I only have about 4-5" of lift between the exhaust flange and the muffler.
That doesn't leave a ton of prevention in case of back flow, and I did notice a little drip above the water inlet. I haven't fully tightened the pipes as I'm not sure this set up is best yet, and also waiting for a new gasket from MMI, both of which should add pressure into the system.
Any advice would be appreciated.
