Firing issues !!

Post by spicydave »

Hi All,

Fitted another dual set of carbs with lower manifolds

Connected all wires from coil to both carbs

Just running on piston 1 & 2

Manifold of puston 3 & 4 “cold as a lady of nights heart”

There is fuel when I open the throttle

What will the reason be ?

plug wires the wrong way round?
blocked idle jets
idle solenoid closed
unbalanced carbs
idle mixture adjuster screwed all the way in
vacuum leaks
