Pig?
You have classic symptoms of a leaking head gasket, what happens is water
seeps into a cylinder under pressure when the engine is cooling down and it
runs rough next time you start. Do a compression test, if you're loosing
water then do a leak down or these days most radiator shops have a CO
sniffer that will tell you if you're head gasket is leaking/blown. The old
fashion way is to check for bubbles in the radiator, not completely
conclusive but nearly always right.
Other things to check are the usual stuff - plugs & leads, and valve
clearances etc

Subject: Rough motor
My L20B seems to run rough when it's cold. Sounds like a cylinder is not
firing....comes good after it warms up a bit. Just
wondering what to do to get it smooth. I've got the choke working and I set
the idle mixture when it's warm. Should I
check compression? Or maybe try another carby on it?
