NO fuel to carbs. Help.

[danmpls]

I have recently put all new gaskets on my CL350 carbs, new fuel line, and cleaned the petcock. Yet still no fuel into the bowls. If I remove the fuel line gas comes out I can see it in the in-line filters. It just seems none is making it in to the carbs. Is it possible to have some suction that isn't allowing fuel to be pulled into the carbs? Any ideas would help. Thanks.

Check those floats? Just had the same problem on my cl175 and that's what it turned out to be... best of luck!


Edit: I was able to check my floats while the carbs were still on the bike - just popped the bowl off the carb and lowered it slowly to see if there was any fuel in there. My float adjustment was so far off specc post rebuild that the needle valve was never allowed to open. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I thought I had measured my floats correctly but I will try again.

That is exactly what it was. I feel super smart right now. I still can't get this bike running but I am that much closer.

They were the right way the 'tang' was way, way off. The clymer says 1.02" and they measured at about 1.25". I need to adjust my points and then I should be in business.
If not, then I will just light this bike on fire and push it down the alley. Then probably piss on the ashes.
