Did you remove and clean the pilot jets when you did the carbs?

Yes. I removed all jets. Soaked and blew them out

I've used a dental syringe to put a drops of fuel into the cylinders via the plug holes.
If it's not getting fuel and firing correctly you'll know it as soon as ya hit the starter button.

Speaking of plugs, yours new??

I did that and it fires. New plugs also

Hi,

Is your airbox removed? Are you using lots of throttle when you try to crank it?



Thank you for your indulgence,

Are you sure you are getting fuel to your carbs? have you checked your fuel petcock? did you put it on prime to fill the bowls ? Also the bike will not run with out either airbox or filters and jetted accordingly.

Actually, it's MINIMAL clearances that will prevent it from starting, but the point remains: check your clearances.

And, unless you have a 16-valve engine with a loose valvetrain locknut, clearances very seldom open up.

Oops, good catch Steve. Thanks for the correction.
