    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 have solved the earlier problem of not cranking after going through and re-cleaning every connection. Now that I am cranking though, I am not starting. I have totally rebuilt the carbs and bench synced them. I removed the spark plugs and am getting spark when placed on the cylinder head. I checked the valves when I had the bike apart and everything was in spec. I do have fuel in my bowls and set the float height when rebuilding. Anyone with suggestions please help...
 
Forgot to mention, also did all o-rings including intake boots in the rebuild, changed to pods and installed a dynojet kid, stock exhaust.
 
Did you check the voltage on the battery? Maybe the sparks there but just not strong enough?
 
Another thing, I just put my hands on the coils and the left one is quite warm and the right one is still room temperature.
 
Probably. The resting voltage should be more than 12V, more like 12.7V. You've been working the battery so put it on a charger first though. Turn on the lights and ignition and measure the voltage drop, which should be in the 0.5V range (without starting).

Check your voltage drop at the coils. If you're losing more than a volt or so over battery voltage you should consider a coil relay mod.
 
I have done the coil relay mod. The battery is currently hooked to a charger so I will test it again in the morning. Thank you everyone for the help.
 
Alright I picked up a new battery today and am now getting 11v when cranking. The bike will stumble if I spray carb cleaner into it and have the choke all the way out and the mixture screw at 5 turns out. I have the dynojet kit installed so I can adjust jets and the needle if needed.
