Thanks fixkick! I didn't clean that probe since I started to turn the sensor from the nut and it wasn't budging so I stopped. I didn't see a way to clean it from the engine port side. That could still be an issue, but I think mine was the clogged port since it failed the stall test. I should have it back together in a few days and will be able to tell. I'm half tempted to pull the head and have the valves redone, but I think I'll wait until I pull the engine for a rebuild and new clutch.
I'm wondering if the engine at some point had a bad 02 sensor and was failing to go into closed loop and running rich causing all that carbon to build up. It was really jammed up in there! Or, could be ethanol gas?
