Dry up all the spilled fuel, ventilate the space, remove the spark plugs and then see if it will crank over.

Is it only leaking from #2 ?
Are you SURE the valve seat o-ring is good ? Sometimes when they are reinstalled, it can get nicked and allow fuel to pass.

Take off #2 and crack it open. Remove the float and the needle valve seat. Get a cup of some sort, put some gas in it then the float, leave it for a few hours and make sure the float.....floats.
Check the oring on the seat.

I am so ignorant, my boy took everything apart but I cleaned them, you know what I am going to say don't you. Yes it was hooked up to the vent nipple! Now to try it again tonight. Any thoughts on the starter problem? Did I read on here if the solenoid clicks that means the solenoid is usually OK?Comment

Sh!t happens so live and learn
A clicking solenoid usually means it's good. Is the battery good? Are the main grounds clean from the battery and the connections on the starter and solenoid?1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

I have the starter out and it spins when I hook it up to power, but when youturn it by hand, should it feel smoth? It turns kind of jerky.Comment

All four pistons will be hitting resistance at the same time and loosening at the same time, so you will experience a change in resistance every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Other than that, yes, it should be smooth.

He's talking about the starter (i think)Originally posted by Steve View Post
It should be smooth with some hitches from the magnetic pull.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

Yeah, going back and re-reading it, I get that impression, too.Originally posted by chef1366 View Post
Yeah, it might feel a bit "notchy" with magnetic pull on the windings, but should turn relatively freely.

Yes, I ment the starter. I went ahead and put the starter and carbs back on and it turned over and started right up. Now all I have to do is put the airbox on and adjust the carbs. Thanks for the help. I'm sure I will have more questions as I go through other parts of the bike.Comment
