Motor runs rough at idle and will not run good at w/o throttle. I pulled the plug wires one at a time while running and #2 is the only one not firing. I swapped the #1 and #2 coil wires and plug wires and #2 still did not fire. I pulled the #2 carb and cleaned it out just to be sure, but there is fuel in the cylinder, plug is wet. Any ideas?

PS. I am new to this forum, so if I get something wrong, work with me. I am better with a wrench than a computer.

Get a factory service manual and then check the ignition system using the test procedures and values found in that manual.

Hey, I think I have it narrowed to a fuel delivery problem, could a reed valve keep it from firing like it is?

Do you have spark on number #2?
