drop cylinder test, but if the top plug is clean and dry, its not getting fuel, which means a carb issue most likely.
take a propane torch, turn it on but don’t light it (DO NOT LITE THE TORCH) and with the motor running at idle, put the torch in the throat of each carb.
if cylinder is lean, rpms should increase and motor smooth out
if cylinder is normal, rpms will drop and motor bog down
if cylinder is rich, nothing will change
Thanks chris. I pulled that carb off again last night, resoaked in carb cleaner, blew it out then reassemlbed. Will test eun again tonight and do propane test. Again thanks.
Evidently third time was a charm on the top carb, I now have fuel entering top cylinder. I set all the carbs up per your sugestion chris, is it common for all three carbs to have different adjustments on the pilot screw. It seams the the bottom carb is set in further the the middle carb, which is set in further from the top carb. Regardless all three are set up to to where the rpm drop when I put propane into each carb throat.
