Not getting enough fuel to one cylinder at idle. Did all the normal tricks:

* checked idle jet (clean)
* ran idle mixture screw in and out
* removed idle jet and mixture screw and blew out
* removed idle jet and "plugged the hole" with finger (this should give me a *very* rich mixture, only got down to 15:1 or so)

So, it's time to pull the carb. I suspect something is blocking the mixture screw area... Of course I have a race this weekend.

Sigh.

Check your valve settings on that cylinder and do a compression test..
OR.
Flip the carbs from one side to the other...

Carbs dont care if you have a spark, they are only controlled by the airpump...some evacuation will affect it..but not unless you have built the motor for that...

Flipping carbs sucks, but its an hour...
