    Dave, Thanks for the reply. Yes there is fire at the plugs of the dead cylinders. Compression is 150.

    Jerry, Thanks also for the reply. The carb has been rebuilt.

    It's firing on every other cylinder in the firing order. That means that one side of the carb is not delivering fuel, or you have a vacuum leak on that half. Pull the carb and give it a good inspection.
