I have been reading on this site and Basscliff's site on how to rebuild the carbs on my '81 gs850, anyway this bike has been sitting for a few years so I got new intake o-rings and 4 carb kits with new floats and set in rebuilding ( I have rebuilt quadrajet carbs for cars for years, this is NOTHING like those).
I cleaned and rebuilt all 4 and reinstalled them, gas is flowing from the petcock on prime, and shuts off on the other positions just fine, also flows when cranking. The carbs have gas in them by checking the drain plugs.
I have spark and compression, in fact it runs good on starting fluid, but it doesnt seem to be getting gas to the cylinders, the plugs don't even seem wet or smell like gas.
Iam wondering what to check next, my thoughts are to recheck the float levels but it would seem like it would at least fire and run badly, but nothing, only on ether. I would go on and tell you every step I had taken, but it looks like I've written a book so far
any help would be appreciated!
