    I am buying this bike from someone I know. The bike had been sitting 2 years and the carbs had been rebuilt 2 years ago and we thought we could get it going without messing with them even though it had had sat since with no go. Long story short we wound up removing them and I took the jets out and cleaned them good and reinstalled them. Now the right 2 carbs are not getting fuel where they were prior to the rebuild. The way I knew they were getting fuel before is because I had removed the plugs a couple times to clean them and those 2 plugs were fouled with fuel when I took them out to clean. Any ideas. Oh and the fuel pump was removed because it was noisy and he said it was acting up, it was the first thing we did before trying to get it running with the carbs still dirty. TIA-John

    you might have pushed on the floats or they are getting stuck closed and getting no fuel.
