Many thanks to all who provided feedback in helping me identify my engine

problem.  I finally had time of the past weekend to try some of the many

suggestions.  And as most of you who responded guessed, it was an induction

leak.



I connected the discharge side of a shop vac to the bottom of the carb

intake, duct taped it up the best I could and turn the vac on.  Then began

spraying soapy water around the induction components.  



I immediately began to see bubbles forming at the right rear induction tube

near the engine.  Turns out that the steel tube that inserts into the

aluminum cast oil pan was loose and leaking.  



Again, many thanks to everyone who helped point me to the problem.
