It starts and idles,but won't rev up,some times it will but not to good,checked
The piston,couple of lite lines but not bad,I don't know what else to try,any ideals would be help full,thanks and a new head gasket

Hi,
It could be as simple as the incorrect spark plug gap(0.020" is correct.) Since it idles, it is unlikely an air leak. Sounds as if the fuel is not being mixed in the proper proportion for acceleration and high speed running. A manual is at:

Peace,
Clarke
