i recently changed the exhaust system to headers and dual exhaust pipes, i've been re-tightening all the bolts after every trip. i also recently rebuilt the carb and changed the plugs to a different, cooler range.
it was running great all week, very smooth response and smooth idle... in neutral and in gear.
today on my way to work it was driving rough, according to my new tach it was actually a bit higher in rpms than normal.
on my way home from work i tried starting it and it popped out the carb. not a lot of smoke but it was still there. waited a good ten minutes and started it again, just fine.
got home and tightened where the headers meet the exhaust pipe, they were pretty loose on the driver's side.
what im thinking is that i have a bit of an exhaust leak at the gasket between the flanges. sound about right?
