I am assuming there is a problem with the carb. Is there any way to check this? I reved it to 5000 rpm. I loosened the screw at the bottom of the float bowl and gas came out. I just cleaned the carbs, and all of the floats seemed to be at the same level before I put them in.
What do I do?

...(#4) is not firing on my 900LTD...getting compression...spark at the plug...new spark plug I put in is shiny and dry and the #4 exhaust pipe is cold when the engine runs... loosened the screw at the bottom of the float bowl and gas came out. I just cleaned the carbs, and all of the floats seemed to be at the same level before I put them in. What do I do?
Am assuming fuel will continuously flow from float bowl drain hole while petcock is open. This assures a continuous supply of fuel is at least getting into the float bowl.
Would suggest first performing the quick easy clear plastic tube test to determine the service fuel level in #4 carb float bowl. The fuel level might be too low for fuel to be drawn up into the carb circuits.
