Yet another Johnson 110 not running on one cylinder

[Boss Hawg]

Starts Ok but won't always idle for long or at all - runs rough at high idle-- pulled plug wires one at a time & found the top right cylinder not hitting- runs just as good with plug wire off. Swaped wires, plugs & coils & still the same--Spark is the same & all plugs look the same--All 4 cyl have a even 100 lbs compression----What the heck :blue:

Squirt some fuel in the throat of the carb of the cyl that isn't firing and see what happens.

It's a top cyl so top carb?

Yes...........

Re: Yet another Johnson 110 not running on one cylinder

OK, spraying fuel into top carb same side as non firing cyl makes it rev higher-
