Gs1000g rebuilt carbs, but not getting fuel . also best replacement pet cock?

[Em9]

New to all this so take it easy on me. I rebuilt the carbs for the bike, but may have done something wrong. When I spray carb cleaner into them the bike will run for a second and then die. It seems it is not getting fuel. It has new lines. I pulled the rank and tried to manually put fuel down the line but it will not go. If I blow into the fuel line almost no air will pass. The only thing I can come up with is maybe the floats.? The manual I have is copied so where it shows everything about where to measure from and what to do is to dark to read. Any ideas and info would be appreciated.

Also any idea which aftermarket pet cock works well for a 1980 gs1000? I think the one on it is bad.

Get a legible copy of your manual here.

Check your bowl gaskets. Some of them will distort and bind the floats, keeping them from moving.
