        How did the fuel fix the spark?

          You tore your carbs down and cleaned them properly in a day and that got you spark back???

            thinking no spark did not in fact mean no spark.

              When I posted originally I was tired and frustrated after getting everything back together and cylinder one was dead... I didn't think to take off the carbs and check to see if the intake cylinder boots had fuel on the bottom of them cylinder 1 was dry. Then pulled plug out rested it on cylinder head and it had spark... so it had to be the fuel...
