Post subject:  Clicking sound from middle of engine

Well, I've noticed a clicking sound comming from the middle of my engine, which would most likely be the Carburetor. What would cause this from the carb? I dont have a vacuum leak, and that carb is a POS anyways.

Post subject:  exhaust leak?

Need to define 'clicking' a little more, but if I were to venture a guess I would say you have an exhaust leak. Small exhaust leaks where the manifold meets the head, cracks in the manifold, or loose bolts/nuts at the manifold to pipe connection create a 'tick tick tick' sound that will increase with rpm.

That basically the sound your describing. When i had my head worked on, afterwards, i found out that the bolts on my carb were only finger tight, ive tightened them since.
