Thanks guys,
To answer your questions...yes I primed the bowls. I also checked that the bowls were getting fuel, which they were. I also removed the inline filter, i figured it was restricting flow. I believe I have my plug wires are correct. I wasn't sure so I looked at a parts fiche and hooked the wires to the corresponding sides. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the problem though. It's easy to figure out which plugs are the inner and outer ones, but each has one that is labelled 1-3, and 2-4. Currently theres a 1-3 and a 2-4 on each side.
Other than that I may just take everything a part and put it back together, maybe (hopefully) I'll find something that's wrong while taking it apart. But for the most part you guys don't think the shims have anything to do with it? I know if they are too tight they cause starting problems.
thanks
As you sit on the bike, #1 is on left side then 2-3-and 4 is on the right side. The left coil fires #1&4 while the right coil fires #2&3. Hope this helps you.
