no fire in one cylinder

Re: no fire in one cylinder

checked spark on all 4 and it has crisp blue spark all the way around.....took the cover off the front of the carbs....I had the motor running and watched the fuel spray in each of the chambers....all had a good spray of fuel except the chamber that fuels the cylinder in question....I could rev the motor to full throttle and it had some spray but not like the rest....I'm going to soak the carbs in some cleaner....I think it could be gummed up somewhere......

Re: no fire in one cylinder

I'm going to put kits in the carbs when I put them back together from cleaning.....I notice that there are two caps about the size of dimes inside the kit....not sure how to get the old ones out of the carb.....any help would be appreciated...........

soaked,cleaned, and put new kits in the carbs and the cylinder in question is now getting fuel...watched the chamber spray fuel just like the other three.....took the plug wire off while idling and the motor bogged ....... before it wouldn't so I know the cylinder is making power now....I believe my problem is solved....going to take it out tomorrow.....thanks everyone for the help...
