Run a compression test. It could be a valve problem. Hope that helps! Jim
Is there one carb or two?

Thanks Jim.wil do and post feedback when i'm done. If i can mange to let the engine run at low rpm the exhaust pipes at cyl 3 & 4 are cold,when reving engine at +-2500 rpm they tend to warm up but when leaving engine to idle it cuts out.
