TheJohnnyGuy's 71 Scamp Apartment Resto.

Fired up the engine today, ran wonderfully! - shut it off and carb kept dripping... ](*,) Then I took apart the carb to re-adjust the floats. Went to assemble the carb and bam! broke the head off of a bolt that held it together... ](*,) I finally was able to get the broken part out by drilling a hold in it and hammering a small hexagon shaped screwdriver bit into the hole and unscrewing... :cheers: Then I put the carb back together and fired her up again! I'm happy to say I have a running Scamp now! :cheers: However... I'm unhappy to say that with this running comes ticking and smoking... the ticking sounds are coming from the passenger side near the front of the engine (I can only pray it's an exhaust leak and cleaning up the manifolds and replacing manifold gaskets will help) Smoke coming from the rear of the engine, which I believe is also associated with the manifolds and/or gaskets... or so I hope. Smoke doesn't smell like burning oil... Anyone else had similar problems or any other ideas as to what ticking and smoking mean? lol
