intermittent dead cylinder issue- vanguard 23hp

wuntunearlybko · 02-23-2014, 07:14 AM

I have a 23hp completely stock (for now), brand new Vanguard. recently it has been hard to start and it backfires. i also noticed when i put my hand over each tailpipe the rear cylinder stays hot but the front cylinder runs cool until i blip the throttle. it also seems to change when i mess with the choke. i JUST pulled the carb last night and cleaned it out as i thought maybe its a clogged jet. gonna get some aviation fuel (high test, non-eth) today and see if that did it

in the meantime, any of you had this issue before? any other suggestions?
