Help. I have a 1982 Arctic Cat Pantera with a fan cooled 500 spirit engine.Its is hard to start. Hot or cold. If I pull the left side plug it will start, but run rough. I can put the plug back in and no start, if I leave it running and install the plug and spark plug boot it'll take off like a raped ape. Yes I have good spark on both sides, the carb is cleaned,swapped out the coil, no vacuum leaks that I can tell. It does start easier if I squirt fuel into the air breather tube.It will not start if you pull the right plug only the left, I'm checking compression in the morning.Any body have any ideas.
