Hey guys, I've got my bike almost running, but have some questions about my carbs.
I have rebuilt the bike, done wiring, and now it's time to start the bike, but the bike wont start (well, all the time it wont start).
I can get the bike running off of gas after I've used starter fluid, but the bike will not idle. I have bench synced the carbs (and they look good), cleaned the carbs a few times (myself, and then taken to a shop and dropped 200 for an inspection, float needle replacements/adjustment, accelerator pump fix, and cleaning), and the damn thing does not want to idle on its own.
I am thinking about taking my plugs out to clean/dry/regap, but not sure if this will fix it, especially since the bike fires up with start fluid. The thing blowing my mind is this; cylinder 2 and 3 are "cool" relative to 1:4. No idea why. Compression is 150 on each cylinder (harbor freight tester, but i trust it). And the engine seems to run better if I spray starter fluid on pods 2 and 3 vs 1 and 4.... leading me to think it's a spark issue.
Anyway, bike has pods, 75 jets, and I have screwed the bottom screws on the carbs (pilot screws?) out 3.
any help / recommendations/ points in the right directions would be appreciated, as I know nothing about carbs
