I assume you mean 3 & 5 on the
left bank, and if that's the case, and as you're running twin SU's then all those cylinders are fed by the O/S (RH) carb.

Check the operation of the duff carb - does it have a petrol feed?, does the float chamber / bowl (whatever they have!) work?, is the linkage present and operating? Needle missing?, diaphragm split?

Hi Chris
I put refurb kits in both carbs 8 mouths ago but due to lack of use
something may have stuck will remove carb tomorrow and check
thanks for info.

Could well be stuck float bowl needle, so no petrol on that side.
