intake clamp bolt GONE!
 

I started snooping around the engine, vacuum line to my petcock seems to be intact and in good shape. Then I see that the clamp bolt on the head side of the #2 carb manifold is missing. This may be the cause of my hard starting, air leak! I guess it's time to yank the carbs off, give 'em a good cleaning and check to see if anybody ever changed jets.
