New head install question
New timing bolts are peace of mind. Turbo bolts are stronger though not needed for stock applications. Arp studs are strongest and overkill for stock application. You can make timing wedge from a non-splintery piece of wood. I saw a nice plastic table saw push stick at HF that could be shaped to do the trick: https://www.harborfreight.com/push-stick-33279.html

I reported as fraudulent under the Ebay report item. Others are recommended to do so.

Yes, it makes sense. The choke cable interferes with the arms on the linkage when they swing down. It is a poor implementation. As mentioned above, just remove the cable completely.

Yes you can spay with carb cleaner and brush away carbon. The plugs clean themselves in the engine once you get it running and normal fuel flow. You can buy a spark plug cleaner if you want: https://www.harborfreight.com/pneumatic-spark-plug-cleaner-32860.html

Too much carbon on your plugs. You fouled them.

Yes. Just remove the choke cable from the carbs and ensure the lever on the top of the carbs is all the way off to prevent any choke circuit leaking into the manifold. You may enjoy this page: http://240260280.com/Tech/Carbs/Weber/DCOE Theory Operation and Tuning.html

No, Some have have a second "mini carburettor" that feeds air and gas directly into the manifold in parallel with the main throats... very over kill. Most just pump the pedal for a few squirts of raw gas from the accelerator circuit before cranking in cold weather.

- Engine Revs under Braking

Try turning the screw or bolt under the control valve located under the throttle body. It is called the boost controlled deceleration device (BCDD). It is a controlled leak around the throttle plate to reduce high manifold vacuum when the throttle valve snaps shut (usually under braking) The screw turning is trial and error until you are happy with the way the rpms fall when stopping.- Replacing a clutch
You may consider replacing rear main seal on engine in addition to the rear seal on your transmission. Use a good spline grease on the transmission front shaft spline, the throw out bearing sliding surface, the fork assembly pressure points, pilot bushing surface at end of crank, propeller shaft spline,and in the throw-out bearing, Use blue loctite on the flywheel to crank bolts and pressure plate bolts (torque these properly).- What is this??
I thought it was for smoothing pump output variations as the fuel system is open with a return line as opposed to plumbing to the bathroom which is closed. I did not think a water hammer effect would occur in an open system?- Sealant, Grease, Antiseize thread
