the exhaust was soo loose that it blew by very badly and that is what I think caused the issue. I ended up jsut ordering a good working exhaust as the header pipe for this one was damged, cracked and rusted in spots through.

braunz,
Thanks for your comments it shows your attitude... Just so you know because you you don't it appears, they actually make a paint that containts a very HIGH pecentage of aluminium. This paint not only does NOT cause the temps to rise on an air cooled motor (typicallyyou don't wnat to paint a motor due to the paint causing the tmeps to raise a little and that coudl mean detonation), but also help restore the cooling fins capacity that were damaged due to corrusion. Unless you have access to a special beed blaster that can sand smooth the fins during the cleaning process, this is the next best thing on an air cooled non-colored motor from the factory. You may not like it, but it's purpose is there for functionality not looks. The fact it makes it look newist is a bonus.
