    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I took apart the carbs, cleaned them well and put back together, now bike won't start. I have spark and fuel in the bowls but still nothing. After squirting some fuel in the spark plug hole bike ran for a second then shuts off. Any ideas? Any advice on how to adjust the pilot and mixture screws?
 
Tell us the method you used to clean the carbs

Because, your other tests point to the carbs
Airbox on?

Which screw do you think is the pilot, and which one is the mixture
 
Considering there is only ONE pilot/mixture screw (per carb), that choice should be easy. :-\\\

But not until AFTER you tell us exactly how you "cleaned them well".

Play nicely now. Jonaron is probably whizzing through all of the other carb problem posts and realising the common denominator is the carbs have been 'cleaned' rather than CLEANED.

Once they have properly cleaned the carbs they will be back for more help and advice.
