Hello group, got a head scratcher here.

Scenario:

Last Saturday drove to cars & coffee, ran great until I was about =BD =
way
home.  Started cutting out bad and l limped home on 2 cylinders.

1.      Checked compression 170-175 across all 4
2.      Pulled each plug wire and determined the front two were not running
3.      Laid a plug along side the engine and verified there is spark
4.      Pulled the float bowl top and verified there is fuel, drained it
dry, blew air, let it refill.
5.      Turned the motor and verified the fuel is flowing into the bowl
6.      Covered the intake and fuel splashes back on my hand a higher RPM
7.      Replace the front two plugs, gapped at .034
8.      Checked valves, all are moving properly and adjusted
9.      Verified that the butterfly is opening
10.     =BD tank of gas.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated before I go out back and shoot
myself in the head?

Many thanks,

Bill B
