Re: CYLINDERS QUIT WORKING

On a V4, when side by side cylinders quit making power it is almost a sure thing that the cause is in the carb that feeds those two cylinders.<br /><br />Test for spark, but see what happens if you squirt/spray some premix into the lower carb. If they fire up temporarily rebuild/clean that carb.
