There is something wrong with 1 & 2. You need to decide if it is
fuel or spark. Since it is both cylinders, I would make SURE you
don't have the firing order wrong (1 & 2 wires swapped) then get an
inductive timing light and see if it triggers regularly when the
inductive pickup is clamped on each wire in turn.
If all these things check out okay, then I would suspect that your
right side carb is not feeding gas. Check it out.
