the smell is from both pipes. I used some carb cleaner as there was air oil (air cleaner?) in the carb. I guess I will need to clean the inside of the distributor as well.
I guess I didn't do a good job of explaining the brake set-up. I used the washers in between the spindle mounting bracket and the adapter that mounts to the caliper. The washers act like bushings to keep the calipers stable and level. All boltheads are inboard and safetywired.
Also should I trash the plugs or just clean them.
