Finally I had some time to go mess with the GL again. After discussing it with my friend Ben from school it seemed like I was having a fuel supply issue. I ghetto rigged up a gravity fuel supply and hooked it right to the carbs, unhooking the fuel pump and turning the petcock off. After a little coaxing it fired up but wouldn't run without the choke, I also noticed that one of the exhaust headers was glowing red so I shut it down. A few more texts with Ben and I went back and made sure all the mixture screws were set to 2 1/2 turns out. After that I got it to idle with out the choke.
While I let it sit and idle for a bit running off the gravity feed I decided to test the fuel pump. I pointed the fuel hose into a gas can and turned on the petcock. Fuel shot out in a pretty even stream into the can so I shut everything down and hooked the fuel pump back up. It fired up and ran again.
Getting closer. Ben is coming over tomorrow to help and see if we can tune the carbs a bit better.
