Spraying soapy water is for a leak down test. If I start spraying water on a running motor I run the risk of sucking water in the motor at the intake boot. Not good

K&N filter with no lid, Fmf full exhaust, Coolhead, boysen reeds, stock bore, stock port, stock carbs. 30 is probably as big as I want.

30 pilot jet, 280 main jet, carbs synced, air adjust screw out 1 turn. When I start my shee cold it won't let me give any throttle.(choke out) Soon as I give it throttle it bogs but doesn't die unless I hold the throttle. Turn the choke off and it still bogs. After about 20 seconds it slowly allows me to give it throttle. Once warm I have no issues starting it. Throttle response is good. Plugs are brown. Should I be concerned? I've also noticed that if I leave it for 15 min and then try and start it I have to use the choke.

No, I pulled the head stud out and it had the threads from the jugs on it. I'm gonna make sure the water pump gears are good.

I noticed coolant leaking from one of the head studs. The nut was loose so I began to tighten it but the head stud was coming with it. Pulled the head and found the head was stripped. Not the stud but the threaded female portion on the jug. What are my options here? Can I get a larger head stud and tap out the jug? This will also require drilling the hole larger on the head. Is there some high temp compound I can use to set the head stud back in?
Pull your wiring harness apart and check for splices. I had similar issues with my 1987. I found butt splices where there should have been soldering.
