    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After cleaning and rebuilding the carbs, new plugs , fresh gas , new battery when I try to start the engine, it seems to want to start but doesn't catch. It will start briefly when you spray carb spray directly into the back air filter.

What do you think the problem is?
 
Yes what he said..PRI is the setting to prime the carbs. This must be done if the bowls are completely dry or it will act as you described.

Also, just use choke and DO NOT twist the throttle as your trying to start it. And be sure the vacuum is hooked up to the small nipple on the petcock and to the vacuum port on the number 3 carb..small bras nipple on the upper l;eft side of the carb.
 
We have done everything that was mentioned above, but it is still not firing.
Do you think the clutch cable is a problem.
 
Cluth cable has nothing to do with anything.

Fuel.

Spark.

Compression.

Since you say it fires with carb spray, the problem is a lack of fuel.

Again, what year is your 750?

If it tries to start when you spray the filter it's a carb problem. What year is your bike and where are you?
