I cleaned and bench synced the carbs, which is no difficult task. And then I checked the cylinder compression which looked good. All cylidners were exactly at 120 psi when cold.
BUT then I put the carbs back on the bike and hooked up the gas with the fuel filter and tried to start the bike. And then I tried again... for about 15 minutes I tried a bunch of different things so I decided to check the float levels. All in perfect position - except I could see debris in the fuel!! wtf!
There was gas leaking out of the 4th cylinder air filter (again) so the float is getting stuck. I could not get the bike to turn over at all. It just kept clicking from the electric start

It might help if you could post a picture of the vacuum lines. I don't know why there would be more than one of them. Ed
