i tore down my g180 last weekend after completing my pile of new parts to find that the top rings on 2&3 were in two pieces!
just old? or problematic? cyl wals are inround crank is ok no scuffing on skirts or lands so what the hell?

also im at 4,790' why am i running so rich?
have 78 with a hitatchi / stromburg downdraft off a ????? (cant remember)
just rebuilt last year has >100 miles on it but the intake was full of fuel
jets too big? wrong float level? pump is stock elect. normal 4-6 psi 1/2" line? im lost on this one, any suggestions?

I have found that high proformance carbs like weber, dellorto, and so on require 2 to 2.5 psi of fuel or they will flood. Try a fuel regulator and see what that does.

Had a little spark knock lately?
This will brake top rings evertime. I have managed to break all of mine a time or two.

slight knocking but not major sounded more like oil starvation than a not maybe time to go through the distributor again
