I cannot seem to get my engine to idle with anything I do, but I can keep it on with reving the throttle constantly. But after I let the engine die, only both the right side pipes are blistering hot where the left two muffler pipes are luke warm??? But the engine sounds normal just not ideling. Has anyone had this happen to them? thx

I would start by adjusting your valves and replacing your plugs.  Your not firing on all four cylinders is why your not idling.
