Hi,
i have an older 4 h.p. yachtwin......So far i have cleaned up carb, replaced coil pack and points and condensors, and plug wires and plugs. It only fires on one cylinder. I pull the lower plug and no difference. pull the top one and it dies.
what's left. reed valves. faulty flywheel, timing.....
Any help
thanks

What is the compression like?
Have you checked the spark with a spark checker, what's it like, bright blue?
