I recently bought a wing that was sitting for a couple of years.
Replaced the gas and fuel filter, did a seafoam treatment and after lots of smoke got the motor to run fairly well.
But after about 20 minutes the #1 cylinder stopped firing. (It's getting spark)
I'm assuming that something reclogged (is that a word ?) in that carb.
I wonder if it's worth removing that particular intake runner and spraying as much as I can reach to try to clear it up ?
(Don't get me wrong .. a full carb rebuild is in the plans, but I'm currently in the process of moving, and most of my tools and shop area aren't accessible at the moment.)
Clean one carb ?

Re: Clean one carb ?
Could be a clogged idle jet. You might try an “Italian tune-up” until you have a chance to clean/rebuild.

Thanks for the links Matt ... I'll try them both !
Re: Clean one carb ?
Tried both suggestions with no luck - that's OK, looking forward to the carb rebuild !
