I was just wondering, I have a 6 cyl continental and it runs good but was wondering why cylinders 1 3 5 run where the exhaust pipes get hot when running for about 30 seconds and cylinders 2 4 6 run to where the exhaust pipes are still cold. I mean no heat on the pipes at all and the other side is hot to where you can't touch it. I am completely lost on it. The cylinders all have good compression and spark. The cold side also has alot of unburnt fuel that comes out of it, the inside of the pipes are wet. I have been told my carb need to be rebuilt but it's not even the right carb, it's a carb off of an a 65 so it's to small for the engine anyway. I would think that it would make the engine run hot because of the lack of fuel from a small carb. I was just curious if anybody has seen where cylinders run hot on one side of the engine but not the other. And if anybody has a ma3 carb they would like to sale or know where I can get one for a decent price. Thanks again for any more help.
