    doesnt seem like i am getting fuel to 1 cylinder

    i think i am only running on 3 cylinders. put new plugs in and cylinder number 3 looks brand new and not wet after a ride. where to start on why only this cylinder is not getting fuel. it is definitely getting spark though. thanks

    Check your plug cap if you are using the stock caps. I had one where the screw slid to the side of the plug wire instead of going down the center of the strands. It would break down under a load and cut out. It would always fire at lower RPM's. It also looked new all the time. It also pulled off the wire quite easily.

      as i stated i know it is getting good spark. that plug has a brand new ngp plug cap. the plug is dry, meaning it is getting no fuel and has absolutely no color change to the plug tip.

        I had a similar problem, i did not have the little screens under the float needles, there was a piece of junk under the valve. I would take it apart and it would move to another carb. I had to take out all the float valves and blow it out.

          Well,

          Your carb is clogged with something

          It's unlikely that #3 carb is not getting any gas, since #4 is getting gas

          Have you done the strip, dip and new O ring cleaning?
