#1. 4+ a gallon
#2. Need to strip and repaint the new drives,,, the old ones work just fine but the new ones have nosecones.
#3. Need to take intake, flame arrestors, and valve covers off to get powder coated.
#4. Need to find out why my starboard engine just dies at idle, after changing head gaskets? Then a week later I have the carb rebuilt, new plugs, new cap and rotor and coil. ETC. Tring to correct the Dying and Still Same thing. Ran perfect before I changed the gaskets.

Sounds like vaccume leak. Maybe intake gaskets which if you do #3 you'll see it. Even if not you may fix it.
That's not a bad enough list to be all gloom and doom... wait till it's 70 and sunny and you'll come around

Could be a bad ground in the ignition. Same thing was happening to my '66 Stang. Would die at idle unless I pumped the gas. Thought it was a gas problem Turned out to be a loose ground wire in the distributor (electronic conversion). Took forever to figure it out.
