RE: 1 cylinder down‏ - update

Don't waste your time putting a filter on the snorkle that points down in the airbox. That peice of foam is open on the end and is there for sound deadening only. I wonder if the disintigrated pieces are clogging up your air filter. Clogged pilot jets will cause problems too.Good luck!

I don't think it's even replaceable without removing the air box.    I'm going to wrap that duct with a fiberglass filter I have laying around.

I removed the air box (for good), and intend to install pod filters and a crankcase filter.I cleaned out #3's bowl and float pin (the one that flooded) and sprayed carb cleaner in all the intakes.  I didn't remove/adjust the jets.  I cleaned the spark plugs again; they all show about the same resistance on a meter.  I put the tank and carbs back on and it's still not running well and stalls if I give it any gas, but I think I need pods in place.I'm beginning to think the ignition is at fault.  As I mentioned in my last post, the engine was missing big-time a few weeks ago (before the hydro lock)  then it magically starting working again after sitting for a day to two.
