    -carbs have been cleaned throughly(followed basecliffs page)
    -new main jets (132.5-mb jets in #2 & #3, 130-mb jets in #1 & #4)
    -drilled slide lift holes (following jet kit instructions)
    -carbs have been bench sync'd
    -new intake boots and o-rings
    -pod filters
    -straight pipped, 4 into 2

      Check for spark- doublecheck plug wires on correct plug- check for gas in all carbs by opening bowl drain screws. Ok, benched sync'd- do throttle plates seem almost closed and throttle cable is not holding them open?

        checked for spark on my lunch break and all four are sparking (plugs are new too).
        will check bowl drain screws tonight or tomorrow for gas and yes throttle plates do seem almost closed and throttle cable is not holding them open.
        thanks for the help, as soon as i check the drain screws ill let ya know. oh and i'll check that plug wire is on the right plug

          The wires or caps can break down so even though you see spark one may not fire properly. I chased my tail for a long time over one of those.

            Since I don't see that you have done an on-the-bike vacuum sync, that would be rather high on my suspect list.
