coils?
am i fouling 2&3 too much choke? thanks again! -
What do the sparkplugs look like if you start it and let it run until the other 2 cylinders kick in?
Have you adjusted the idle mixture screws?
#2&3 are on the same coil, so I would suspect more of a coil/ignition issue than fuel, but fuel is easiest to check.Nice day, if it doesn't rain...

Other option is if someone put larger jets in 2 and 3 due to them being internal for cooling. Especially if they were cornfused and used larger pilot jets.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

My guess is your on the right track thinking a coil's the culprit. Sounds like it's lazy, and has to heat up to get it to work.
I've also seen coils act the opposite... (quits working when it gets hot...)
IMHO
