CajunCook1, I have done a drop test and it was running so slowly it stopped when I took the plug cap off of either cylinder. Before the reeds were taken off and cleaned, the bottom cylinder wasn’t working but I could feel the jolt of the spark when holding the boot in my pliers while it was running on the top cylinder, which is why I thought the reeds weren’t getting any fuel to that cylinder.
I am running the motor off the gravity feed fuel tank, not an external tank.
It is getting plenty of fuel as I cleaned tank and fuel tap and filter.

Thanks again

After you have run the motor a couple minutes and then turned off the motor by quickly retarding the throttle to off, have you examined the spark plugs? Does the top cylinder spark plug one look dry brownish gray and the bottom cylinder one look wet and dark?

Before you put the reeds back on, did you notice if they were completely flat against the mounting surface?
