went to start it and caught a "stack" fire from it backfiring through the carb. Once it starts it refuses to run on its own and it has no power. sounds like it's only running on 2 cylinders. All the plug wires have not been messed with. Hoping somthing hasn't happened to the timing chain or distributor. I will continue to look for other problems, however, I fear the worst.

if the wires are crossed up, that's most likely the problem.
