Been working on trying to get my newest acquisition running (D-180)

I got it running, but only on one cylinder (it's amazing how well it runs on only one)  I can tell it's only running on the left one because the right side of the motor and muffler are cool.

I can feel air coming out of the muffler on the right side at the same pace and velocity as the left side (hot side)  I took the spark plug out and it's getting spark, VERY good spark as a matter of fact.

So that should lead me to a fuel problem maybe, what do you think it is?  Stuck valve??? something else.  IDK..,Please help.

Thanks
Tyson

A suppose a stuck intake valve could do it. Can you do a compression test? Maybe take the head off and inspect?

One other option would be to remove the valve cover from that side, and engine over.

Took her apart this morning, it was a stuck exhaust valve, it's up and running again, but I think I need a carb kit.
