Cylinder has spark but not firing..

does it run or not, that is my question. if so, why would you remove plug wires and cooling hoses, for a simple carb swap.

? Im confused. Yes it runs very well. THe intake manifold was actually warped very badly. New intake is on and it runs great. Now the hlley is having an issue, so i out thethermoquad on.

Duey it's possible the confusion lies with the picture you posted that shows an engine missing a lot of parts (valve covers, plug wires, carb, hoses, etc...) yet you say it's running.
