Carbs back on…but problems
I reinstalled the 4 into 1 exhaust, after finding I was missing the sleeves for the OEM exhaust. I put the carbs back on, and tried to fire it up. Nothing. Not so much as an attempt to fire. The engine turns over just fine, but it still looks like there is no fuel reaching the cylinders. It will still fire if I spray starting fluid into the air intake, so I am getting spark. I am baffled now. I feel like I was pretty careful about taking the carbs apart and cleaning them up. The gas makes it to the float bowls, but evidently, no farther.
Basically, I am at a crossroads where I have to decide how much more money I want to invest in the bike, if any. I am considering parting it out and selling the parts on eBay.
are you using the correct carbs ? they look like vacume opperated carbs from a newer bike ?

It is a possibility that they are the wrong carbs, but I don’t know. These are the carbs that were on the bike when I got it. How would I determine if they are the wrong ones?

I went back to my Clymer book and it does appear that this bike has the correct carbs on it.
