Engine Assessment
The engine was running until the previous owner began messing with the carburetors.
Assessed engine first; removed header and it's a pretty ugly block. Rear carburetor burning rich, forward burning lean. Disappointed to see piston header impact damage on one cylinder (machine shop says it can be machined). Applied straight edge to header and there isn't any warpage or gaps. No obvious gouges in the cylinders.
Next step is pulling the engine and taking it apart to see what caused piston impact damage (suspect loose piston? hopefully)
Not entirely sure at this stage if engine is rebuildable, lucky to have a machine shop pro to help with diagnosis.
Also uploading plate data pictures. This is one of the "less obvious" 250's with a 2.8L M130V carbureted engine (114.011)
