I maintain that I am not a mechanic. I can twist a wrench, turn a screwdriver, take things apart, and put ‘em back together. However short of changing oil and filter and other basic tasks I really don’t consider myself to be a mechanic. (I've been wrenching on this thing for YEARS off and on and I'm tired of working on it, I just want to RIDE it!)
The CL360/378 is back together and will run but not very well. I just took off the clamps and made sure the carbs were completely seated into the (new) intakes and put the clamps back on. The other day before doing that that would start and run, though badly, now it won’t start at all except w/ a small squirt of starting fluid.
I remember hearing that these don’t work well with inline fuel filters. I don’t have inline filters but I did have to change out the petcock from the stock w/ two outlets to one w/ a single. The fuel line goes out of the petcock to a T and then from there to the carbs, nothing pinched or restricted. There is fuel in the lines. Could the problem be that running a single line like that to a T isn’t providing enough fuel to the carbs?
Where else do I go w/ this? The carbs are CrazyPJ builds that have been sitting in a box since his work. I hope I’m correct in assuming that they should be ready to go without much more than a little tweaking.
Suggestions? Advice?
