So I just put the 1995 kzp back together, it turn on but with one problem. the two right side pistons are dead.. they have good spark and the carbs are getting fuel but no combustion.. I did notice that the two carbs for the pistons are spitting fuel instead of sucking... what am i missing?

Would first assure that the plug wires from one coil are attached to the outside sparkplugs #1/4; and that the plug wires from the other coil are attached to the inside sparkplugs #2/3.

Good Luck! :)

A safe way to check if cylinders are firing is to get a spray bottle of water. At 212 F water flashes to steam, so why risk burns to your hands?

You might want to check the pick up coils on the right side of the engine under a CD sized cover. The mechanical ignition advancer is there too. Check it for movement with the engine off.

It should return to it's original position when moved, if not, find out why. It might need a little light oil on the moving parts and pivot joints.
