    Compression test was 130-140 in all cylinders

    Good spark on all for

    This is a fuel issue

    Check the petcock and make sure it is flowing fuel and or take out the fuel bowl drain screw and see if there is any fuel.

    Stuff I've done to my bike 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

      Ditto on the fuel checking thing, also do you have the vacuum line connected to the correct carb? you only need 3 things for it to start...air, fuel, spark. Have a look at the choke control when you put the the choke on and make sure all the choke plungers are working as they should.

        Did you PRIme the crabs well, before the first try? Its gonna crank and crank until the fuel fills the bowls...which most likely will drain he battery down first.

        Put it in the PRIme position, choke, and start. When its running swing the petcock back to the ON position.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Yes all of the bowls drained fuel

          I poured a little in each cylinder and it fired up for 2-3 secs

            Turns out that the in line filter that was on the bike was clogged up took it out and replaced the fuel line and she fired up. Time to synchronize
