I know on my bike I had to clean the carbs 3 or 4 times before everything was out. Also make sure you have a good fuel filter to keep any new contamination out.

Good luck!!

Wow thanks a ton guys, those are great tutorials...I can't believe how much i missed when cleaning! Hopefully there will be a post on here soon saying its running and I'm gone! Lol. Do you guys use a Manometer to sync your carbs or do the home-made setups work just the same?

I've rebuilt that carbs and it sounds great to my untrained ears!! The pilots were all plugged pretty bad...no wonder it wouldn't run! Here is the manometer i made, splashed a good bit of marvel mystery fluid on it in the process lol. Don't laugh at my packaging tape attachment job! #2 has way too much pull even when the mixture screw is completely seated. That indicates an air leak somewhere right? How small of a hole can the diaphgrams get? I didn't notice anything when I cleaned it.

Mine had several tiny slits I could only see if I held them up to light.
