delco1946 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hey Steve - the smell ive gotten isnt quite rotten eggs, but is certainly unpleasant. I guess if i had to pick "a smell" it reminds me more of burning dirty electrical stuff, old crud/rubber etc. But i've never been able to see anything being damaged. I seems to be focused at the back of the passenger manifold and near the heater. I am likely way off base, but could the engine be running very lean? This condition has a distinctive odor and would explain difficult starts and being low on power. That is quite possible. I know I closed the throttle plate a bit already- to much air was coming in upon starting. The choke was turned to a 2:30 position ( lean), too.
