Weird thing is I can't blow through the fuel line with carbs turned upside down. This topic is getting old and I'm sure everyone reading it will think its an easy fix but I just can't figure it out. This is not my first set of carbs I'm about to give up on them though. Just a shame to spend so much money for nothing
I would give the needles a good cleaning. Maybe even take a very light sanding to the surfaces...
Well, this could also be why they were put up for sale, in the first place? Previous owner also could not figure out the problem? Do you know the history on these?
Another thought... take a good close look at the carb bodies of 1&2, near where fuel enters the bowls and see if you spot anything that looks like hairline cracks. Again, not nikid eyes, put magnification on them... look hard and close!

First off the fuel lines are supposed to come from the back. The inlet is 5/16 but the petcock is 1/4/ You heat up the line so it will fit the inlet using 1/4 line. No hose clamps should be needed. The petcock has two outlets, use two lines with a bullet filter in between. One and two have a common vent. If one isn't shutting off, then both will flood. If the needles have a ridge AKA line around them, they must be replaced. They're shot. jetsrus has them. I'll be buying one for mine. No amount of sanding will fix them. That's why they were sold. If it is not too late you can file a not as described and get your money back if you bought them on eBay. These are good carbs but the draw back is they aren't made anymore. Parts can be interchanged but you have to send Mike the measurements to be sure. Looks like your getting there.
PS; needles will work from smaller VM's but the seat threads are larger. Put up a pic of the needles.

That's BS. How long has it been? You can file a dispute with Pay Pal if it isn't too late. Report the seller. Being a seller, I can tell you they protect the buyer more than the seller. Go to the discussion boards with your complaint. I know the needles and seats are expensive but if you get them working, they'll be great.
My mistake as a buyer was, I left positive feed back before I checked out the parts for fit or if they had any problems. I had one seller pestering me about not leaving feed back. I told him it's now my policy to make sure the part is correct before leaving any feed back for ANYONE. It's a game and you have to know the rules.
