    I have 1985 Maxim X that I bought Jan. of this year. When I first got it, it didn't want to start. I changed the spark plugs to iridium and I was able to make it run after that, but it was kind of running rough. I decided to clean the carbs and there was some rust in the carbs so now i placed a glass filter after the petcock and carbs. Since it has 23000 miles I decided to adjust the valves. I finall finished everything and now the bike doesn't want to start. The battery is full charge, and is connected to the charger.
    What am I missing? What are the things that I need to check to troubleshoot the problem? I appreciate all the input that I can get! Tnx
