Find out why it is only running on 2 cylinders. Can be bad spark plugs, defective coils, bad fuel injectors, defective spark plug wires, etc.

if one of your coil packs goes bad it will only run on 2cylinders
On quite a few older 2 stroke jet ski's, water is injected into the exhuast flow to cool the exhaust pipe, and possible turn the pipe. If the moter stops running and you turn the ski over the wrong way this water can enter the cylinders. Once in the cylinders it can damage the pistons and rings. If the ski is running this is not a problem because the exhaust gasses keep the water from entering the cylinders. If the ski is not running there isn't anything to keep the water from entering the cylinders if the ski is rolled the wrong way.

No overdrive but the non turbo 4cyl had a lock out torque converter that usually kicks in at about 46-48 mph. Gave an extra 2+mpg. Not available on turbo cars.
for the four cylinder it si 1-3-4-2 with the cylinders ( front to rear ) 1-2-3-4, and the six cylinder it is 1-5-3-6-2-4 with the cylinders ( front to rear ) 1-2-3-4-5-6. hope this helps you out.
