I found the problem, but first....... Took the tuning valve off top of intake cover, smelled gas. Peeked inside using small mirror, saw puddle of fuel. Figured it was the finally time to replace spider unit,called around for prices: oem-$389, aftermarket $275. Going with aftermarket but decided to check over the spider unit before bying new one. So me and a friend took the intake cover off. Saw that the Fuel Pressure Regulator was leaking. Replaced it for $35 bucks! Put cover back on, runs great. Starts right up. Exhaust smells more normal. Idles evenly. That cover comes off real easy. Especially if you have two people on it. Came off in about 15 minutes. Altogether took about an hour of labor, not considering the run to the parts store and the pizza. The regulator I purchased was to my surprise the aftermarket "Help!" brand. .........now onto that clunking sound.
