Re: HELP ! right hand side of engine not firing
Seems a bit of an odd symptom.
How exactly have you checked the carb?
I would check fuel delivery to the carburettor in question in case there is a blockage in that branch.
I would also check you are getting spark to that bank, could the distributor cap be loose and has lifted/tilted on one side?
Good luck and keep us updated.

Re: HELP ! right hand side of engine not firing
Have you got one of those cheap spark tester pens to see if both plugs are firing ?

Re: HELP ! right hand side of engine not firing
Dirt in an idle jet? But strange for both to be blocked. When did you last replace the soft fuel pipes? This is also a tiny filter in the carb if you have a Weber. Worth checking
