	You may need to do a valve clearance adjustment. When you are done cranking it to start, if you pull the plugs, are they dry or wet with gas? Wet means flooded, or no ignition. Dry means not enough fuel. Backfiring out the carb or exhaust means out of time. If it sat a long time, possible stuck valves? When you do a valve clearance adjustment, and remove the side chest cover, you will be able to see what's going on. John

	A possibility. With the front tube of the intake manifold passing air/fuel mix and rear tube not, I might suspect a blockage in the passage. A small critter perhaps?

	Sounds like you may have some valves stuck open in #3&4 cylinders.
	Life is only as good as you make it.
