Have you tried turning the idle adjuster up a couple of turns ?

no will give it a go, but even with a little throttle it dont start

So you have the carbs set correctly, you have air, fuel, a spark, the battery is charged, the engine is turning over on the starter and the choke is working properly ?

dunno about the carbs as i have no ideahow to set them up but everything else is working as it should and there is air, fuel and a spark.

Have you fitted new plugs?

Have you put the airbox back on?
Does the choke work?
Does it turn over fast on the starter?
Is your vacuum hose on the right spigot?
Is there actually any fuel in it?
Is it on reserve?
does it try at all or does it just spin over?
Kill switch

Tell us your exact knowledge...we'll get it going!!

What did you do to the carbs apart from pull them off?
Are you sure you have them back on properly?
Squirt some carb cleaner at the inlets when trying to start it....not the carbs inlets, the engine inlets.

Where are you anyway?

spooner, ive got some standard carbs i could drop in to you tomorrow afternoon ish if you want to try them, they were taken off a month ago and worked ok.

yes the air box is on, when i move the choke leaver it moves the lever on the carbs, it turns over fast on the starter, yes the vac pipe is on the right nipple, yes there is fuel in it and on reserve and i believe its trying to start and the kill switch is on RUN

that would be great if u could, do u want anything for them if it works and would it be possibe to use some of ur knowladge to look at the bike for me too

my humbel opinion is the carbs are now way out and you have flooded the spark plugs again trying to start it!
