Sounds like an addiction to me.

Not sure if there is any number of engines that you build from scratch that could be considered a problem. More like a Gift.

Thanks Weldingrod1

Thanks Chris, Boswell, and IHinIn that's very kind.

I replaced the radiator fan and it does have more airflow than the original it is not what I expected. it does keep the water temperature down to 140 degrees so what more can I ask for.
The gas tank was just too small so I made a larger one with almost two times the capacity. The engine will run for about 10 minutes on a tank full.
The most important change I made was to the intake pipes. I moved several of the pipes around to different locations on the intake manifold. It must have had something to do with how the fuel air mixture is acting in the manifold. Anyway all the exhaust pipes are now about the same color and the exhaust temperatures are all within 10 degrees.

Thanks for looking

Amazing work !!! Thanks for sharing your build .

It is truly surprising that switching the intake manifold tubes around made that much difference. Can you see any difference in how smooth it runs?
