Im soory I just got back on the site after being off it for a while. I dont know anything about your bike or what you've done to it. Are the carbs filling up with gas? Have you tried starting fluid?

Craig, you will have to give more information....what work did you do on the bike, and why? What is it doing now, and what is it not doing now, other than not starting?

Disconnect the fuel line and the vacuum line from the carbs. With the petcock in the run position, apply a vacuum to the vacuum line (suck on it is the easiest, but be aware there could be gas in that line. 8O ) If the petcock is working right fuel should flow from the gas line. Turn petcock to prime, fuel should flow. If the fuel does not flow on either test you will have to go back in to the petcock to check if all is as it should be. Safe Riding, Bill
