Weird problem with Gas Intake

Hi Guys,

I had my bike running excellent last year, but after a couple of months of sitting, it won't start.

Symptoms,

When I hold the starter, bike won't turn over... it's not getting gas for some reason, when I put my mouth on the fuel line, and blow into the line, it starts... so I'm guesssing for some reason my Carbs aren't sending fuel to the cylinders... anyone know the reason?

I just cleaned the Carbs thoroughly (I've done it before, so I know it's right.)

Thanks guys!

 

When "just?" Before or since the two months' sitting?

When you say "won't turn over" do you mean "won't turn over" or do you mean "turns over but won't fire?" (I suspect the latter.)

 

Sorry Fitz....

It won't fire unless I blow into the Fuel Line... Like the Gas isn't shooting into the Cylinders... not sure what is up.

I cleaned the carbs about 2 weeks ago... but Haven't ridden it at all.

 

What method did you use to set the float levels? You need to use fuel and the "clear tube method" to get them right. That's where your symptoms are pointing.

 

Ok, I did do the clear tube method. Hook the tube to the bowl drain plugs and watch the height of the gas... We got everything adjusted properly.

I'm going to pull them and check the levels again. Do you think that it could be anyhting else?

 

Is your petcock in the prime position?
