Whew, I did NOT want to take those carbs off...again...
went thru externals, pulled all electrical connections, frame grounds. Pulled the pettock, cleaned, reseated carbs/boots/airbox.
It would start, then die.
I did suspect electric as the spark plugs weren't that bright when I pulled them check for spark.
Used quality dielectric grease on all connections.

Drained the tank, bowls and heres the kicker for the noob, make sure its fresh gas, not mostly fresh gas in the tank.

Gotta sync the carbs, flush clutch fluid,  but whew- mostly done, off to the title place for tags and title (no...wasn't going to spend that $$ till it was thumping)

Congrats on getting her running. Feels good, doesn't it?  thumb

I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6
