    #2 cylinder still cool

    # 2 cylinder feels cool with a slight fuel odor. Had the carbs re-built, petcock replaced, new plugs, new intake boots. Number 2 still cool. Once the new petcock was installed it got hot quick, but now has gone back to original problem with usual fuel odor. However, spark plug is not as blackened up as before. Still seeing the weaker spark plug wire firing indicator as before vs #3. Any ideas?

    When is the last time you adjusted the valves?

      Does the spark plug boot have a good connection on the wire?

        Is this on some type of motorcycle or something?

        If so, have the carburetors been cleaned, synchronized or otherwise maintained at all?

          Was the petcock new or used? Did wiredgeorge do the carb rebuild?

            Is it bigger than a bread box?

              Has it run correctly since it left the factory?
