You probably have a cylinder that's now producing power. <br />Check the trouble shooting charts in your manual.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Probably be a good idea to find out which cylinder is dead and whether it is a carb problem or an ignition problem before you do anything else.<br /><br />Most likely is one of your magneto circuits is bad. Could be points, condenser, coil, plug wire or plug.<br /><br />Good luck.
