    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.

Pull your plugs and see if they are wet or dry- where does vacuum line for petcock connect on this thing?
 
Plugs dry and clean one carb has vacuum port. I have not changed anything since the day i rode it. One thought: the idle jets were stuck when I cleaned the carbs so I ez outted them . reused them may have a problem with those.
I'm going to order new ones and pull the carbies again. It's a fuel problem I'm convinced. Fuel is in the 1-2 bowl just not getting to the cyls . Old bikes and old men smell bad:lol: Thanks
 
If a bike spends a lot of time sitting on the side stand, the left side pilot jets and associated passages in the carburetor bodies tend to be the ones to gum up first. Maybe this is your problem. It could also be as easy as the fuel feed passage in the float bowls are blocked and not letting fuel into the enrichener circuit.
 
Dump some Sea Foam in it and run the beast. Could have even been the floats hanging up.
 
Too much choke when starting with stock coils will kill a plug easily. Just use the bare minumum to get ot started & keep it running
 
First thing I would do is install new plugs. With those new plugs I would check to make sure they're firing.
If they make good fire then I would move to the carbs. Check to see if there is fuel in the bowls.
 
Did you say that you removed the pilot jets with an EZ out ? That might leave somewhat less then a perfect hole in them
