ANY ONE HAVE ANYTHING ON THIS IM STUMPED!!
1.)is the white plug wet or dry when you take it out?
2.)when you had the carbs off did you remove the pilotjets and clean them and can see good light thru them? did you spray carb cleaner up thru the port where the pilt jet goes and it came out in front of the carb at the fuel screw?
3.)was the float and needle and seat free and moved up and down without sticking?
4.)have you checked to see if the choke plunger is stuck on that cylinder, can you take a small screwdriver and push the choke plunger rod into the carb any?

Mine just did that, was the pilot jet, take it out and clean it and blow it out with air.

its the one down inside of the aluminum tube, takes a small penlight screw driver to remove it.

Yes I Took The Feul Line Off And Pull The Motor Over And It Pumped Out I Even Hooked A Temp Tank To It To C If The Fuel Was Geting In And It Had No Problem Getting In I Am Stumped Big Time
put it up on a jackstand and rev it up and hold it at 5000-6000rpm for a few seconds, see if the cylinder starts to come alive. If it does keep it going and clean it out, you either have flooded the pipe on that cylinder or you have a leaking needle and seat and thats whats flooding the cylinder if its leaving gas/oil mixture under the pipe and the other 2 are dry.

I've seen mice build a nest in a pipe thats been sitting for awhile...that'd do it. Make sure that pipe is clear.

If There Was A Nest It Would Build Up Press Right? There Is Air Coming From The Pipe Under The Mobile

I'm talking about the individual pipe, not the silencer. The other two cylinders would be blowing the air out the silencer. I doubt this is the problem...you'd probably have to have individual silencers like the hauck style for a mouse to get into an individual pipe. I don't think they could get up through a stock silencer...just thought i'd bounce the idea off ya, I have seen it happen.

My brothers sled did that it ended up being a bad spark plug boot. Just do ohm check or replace all three there cheep.

easy test, I just did this last week....take the top half of the air box off and while running the sled spray a little carb cleaner or brake cleaner into the suspect cylinder....if the idle goes up when sprayed (just a little spray at idle, a lot will kill the engine) then take a look at the carbs again.....man if this isn't it and you are SURE you have spark then maybe something odd like a crank seal went bad. I know this would be very odd to but a few things to look at.....mice nest in exaust, reed pedal issues, compression low. Good luck and let us know what happens.
did you run it like i said??

Not Yet....... Im Sure I Found The Problem I Think The Needle And Seat Is Not Seating Because I Aired The Cylender And Took A Little Propane Torch And Burnent The Gas Out Of The Cylenders And Warmed The Plug And It Ran For 2 Mins So I Think It Just Poring The Gas In And Flooding The Cyender.......
