    Any big problem

    Could anyone tell do I have any problem with following mistake to the bike?
    I was accidentally interchanged the #3 and #4 sparkplug wires during replacing the new sparkplugs, and then I started the bike for few minutes.

    Would there be any damage to the engine or the carbs?

    Now I ride the bike and it seems OK.

    Should be fine. If anything was messed up you would know it.

      Since we don't know what sort of bike you have, it could blow up at any second... better run away. (and please don't leave out important details in the future, m'kay?)

      If it's a GS, it's fine. Won't hurt a thing. People do this all the time, actually. I've done it at least three or four times myself.

            There is an old trick that we used to do as teenagers to get crap out of carbies without removing them from the vehicle (I'm talking cars here).

            We would purposely cross a couple of the spark plug leads and get the engine to back-fire through the carbie. Works really well, almost every time. This was taught to me by an 'old school' mechanic as a great 'side-of-the-road' repair if you ever picked up a load of dirty fuel and had to get the car running without the benefit of a workshop or toolkit.

            Just don't try it with an EFI vehicle or you may do some serious damage.
