Petcock is fine. Fuel tank vent is not clogged. I pulled the tank apart because I can see what looks like rust that someone poured a coating over that didn't disperse well. I'll have the tank lined and painted anyway. The petcock filter screen was clean. I pulled the carbs and drained the bowls, and all four had gas. Could it be a clogged Pilot Jet? It would die as I rolled on throttle, but would not idle.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Have you determined which cylinders are not firing? Check for cold pipes.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Check for spark on 2&3 again. Make sure the spark is a good bright blue. Make sure that you're getting proper voltage to the coil hot wire (O/W). Should be close to battery voltage with the engine running. Measure it and let us know what you read.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg
