Carbs done, bike won't fire up...

[don07tncav]

Number three was full of crud and the others looked great. But she won't start. It turnsover like normal and I noticed no fuel flowing at first, a line was kinked but I got that.

Does it take a while for the carbs to fill up? I had it in prime for a bit and tried but no luck, maybe I'm pushing things.

Bill is that cell phone of yours fired up??

Did you pull the float needle and seats to check the screen/strainer that attaches to the top of the seat? I found some wierd stuff up there on the carbs from my 78. Would have never found it if I hadn't pulled the seats.

Thanks for the help last night Bill! I'll be working on your suggestions this morning.

Thanks to Bill's suggestions I was able to get it up and running this morning. What a difference the sound of four cylenders make firing when they are supposed to. I can't wait to see the difference in the drive.

I really appreciate all the help and advice gents, THANKS!!

BTW, Have a fantastic turkey day!
