Re: Trouble starting bike:
If you have fuel to the carbs and spark you have carb issues and you should remove the carbs and either have them rebuilt or get a gasket kit and do it yourself, I believe that is your issue.
there aint nothin like it

Re: Trouble starting bike:
I did check the spark plug and its dry, I don't think the fuel line are hook up right. You have fuel line from petcock, then to the canister, then from canister to fuel pump, then from fuel pump to carb. Is this set up right?

Re: Trouble starting bike:
If you have fuel to the carb and no fuel on the plugs and you have compressin and spark the CARB is your problem as long as its tight and the boot is good.

Re: Trouble starting bike:
Hi guys, Had the gas tank off the other day, check air filter (looked good), pulled hose off fuel pump to carb, cranked it and hardly got a few drops out of the fuel pump.
