Failing to start

[ribbert]

Before moving on entirely from the aforementioned checks....

# Do you know how to use starter fluid

# Did you check for some positive indication the battery was getting current from the jumper battery. Of the four connections you make with jumper cables it is not uncommon to need to clean or jiggle at least one of them to get a connection. Also,
   jumper leads themselves have always had a high failure rate.

# Do you know the jumper battery was good, if so, how? ( a running vehicle makes the best source )

# You say the "choke cable is new and the linkage works fine" Have you verified that now or was that the case at the time of installation?, these type of carbies will not start without choke.

After speaking with Randy at RPM he suggested cleaning the pilot jets out. Low and behold after doing that the bike fired up. I'm thinking because the gas that was in the carbs was slightly brown that the tank needs to be cleaned and that was where the problem was coming from. Thank you all for all the suggestions.

Brown gas is an important clue

I have just been using regular gas and it's 3 weeks old now.

Glad you got her working....
