There's a limited number of things that could keep your bike from running and it should be relatively easy to chase down if it ran before. A few questions:
- Did you tear down the carbs completely before dipping (or just "spray them out")?
- Did you replace all the o-rings, including the ones between the intake boots and the head?
- Did you set the float height?
- Did you bench synch the carbs?
- Have you checked valve clearances?
- Did you reconnect the vac line to the petcock?
- Is your petcock/filter clean and fuel lines straight and clear?
- Did you prime the bowls and can you verify they're getting fuel?
- Are you using a fully charged battery?
If you start by answering those we can get closer to diagnosing the problem. Also, I agree with notlob, that the increase in main jet size won't affect startup and idle, but why did you go up three jet sizes in the first place? Did you make some kind of major mod, like removing the airbox?
