Finally

I replaced the slave cylinder, bled it in record time. Looks like with a new master and slave cylinder my clutch is good to go. I also managed to tighten the spark plugs so they're not leaking anymore. I think I just didn't torque them down all the way, out of paranoia that I would snap them, when I last changed them.

Hopefully the weather will let me to do a full tune up and I can get the poor girl running better. She's good now, but I know there's something missing.

Clutch Fixed

Yes, as the title suggests my clutch is finally fixed. I got my new slave cylinder in from Chris Roop and installed it just a short time ago.

If you have to replace yours, and not at home, make sure you have 3 wrenches. One for the bolts holding the slave to the transmission, one for the clutch hose, and one for the bleed valve. I brought one for the transmission bolts...made life fun.

Also, my friend discovered my spark plug channels are leaking air...and bits of fuel. I'm going to try and plug them with a little sealant tomorrow or something and see if that may fix my lean mixture problem. Hopefully it will, nothing else has seemed to touch it except the choke.
