i checked for a loose head and all seems tight.

i pulled the spark plugs and 2 3 4 seem light gray and dry with piston 2's looking less used

when i pulled 1 its still shiny like it came out of the box i am totally lost why will it spark when it out of the engine but not in the engine or how is piston 2 getting fuel and not piston 1? or how is piston one not cumbisting with it having good commpression.

Check to make sure that the adjuster lock nuts are tight and one adjuster hasn't moved.

ok heres the update i pulled of the intake and put a small amount of gas in pistont 1 and 2 and it fired right up.
so then i added a small amount to piston 1 2 3 4 and it fired perfect and sounded strong untill in ran out of gas. so then i checked the intake for any blocks and there were none. so i put new gaskets on all the intake and connected the dual port parts with new connections and started it up only to have piston 3 and 4 only working. i am stuck but making proggress to the diagnosis.
any ideas what could be going on to cause this.

Recheck the plugs!
