12a running on one rotor

Hey guys random question for you but I got my 7 running again after finding out the high idle and stalling issue was my fast idle rod. But now I notice it's only running on the front rotor. I know this because the rb header is cold on the rear side and hot on the front. It's getting fuel spark and has 90 on compression. Any ideas??

Are you sure your getting fuel??? Not just from the accelerator pump. But from the Venturi too?

If the venturies are pulling fuel you would be able to see it drawing it in while accelerating. Just be careful cause if you get a back fire thru the carb your loose your eyebrows and eye lashes.

if its got all the stock emissions stuff, it could be a bad TPS or Shutter valve.

Might be asking the obvious, but are you sure you are getting spark to that rotor? Had any big back fires?

If the rear is cold then its not getting either fuel, air or spark. You need to narrow it down.

Fuel - look at the plugs, are they dry or wet - wet means fuel
Spark - pull the wire and ground it on the something and see if there is spark
Air - if plug is wet then there is air normally or else the carb needs some cleaning or work.

Did you try running a can of SeaFoam thru it yet? Might help.
