I finally got to look at the rx-1 yesterday. First i pulled the plugs on the two cylenders on the pto side that weren't firing and the plugs were dry and looked like new, so from there I knew they weren't getting fuel. So I pulled the fuel line off that goes to those cylenders and fired the sled up and there was no fuel comming out. So from there I remembered mrrestless said that the fuel pickup in the tank might not be setting in the bottom so I undid the line going into the tank and wiggled it around so it would drop in the bottom if that was the case. Then I took the line off going into the fuel pump and primed the line and attached it back. Then when I fired it back up there was gas pumping so I attached the line back to the carbs and she runs fine. Thanks for all your help [/b]

I would pull the engine, and check the crankcase seals.
