GS1100 petcock question

[purplemotoman]

Okay thanks.

[GSX1000E]

Fuel is fresh. Carbs are jetted for pods. There is fuel in the bowls. When I crack the bottom screw it pours gas. Spark plugs are dry. If I put my hand over carb end the bike tries to start but just blows a huge flame out the exhaust. I tore down the carbs, dunked and put back together. I didn't touch the air screw though.

It sure sounds like your en-richer circuit is plugged up. Did you make certain that the brass tube that goes into the chamber of the float bowl is clear as well as the orifices/passages in the float bowl?

The bike did or didn't run when you got it ? Plug wires on wrong rr timing chain jumped would be my guess. Even if no gas got to the choke it wouldn't backfire out the carb, just my opinion, trying to help

If you're getting a flame out the exhaust, it is firing on an open exhaust valve.
Sure you haven't crossed a plug wire or two ?

Dave you hit on the nose,if the wires were like he said, they are wrong. Good call.

Thanks everyone for the help. I will be at it tomorrow, so I will keep everyone informed.

Good afternoon everyone. So good news...switched the wires around and it fired right up. Now I have to replace the petcock and then I will be able to take it for a run.
Thanks for all the help.
