I exhausted all of the resources I had at my disposal, and tried everything that I knew how to try, but it was all for nothing as it turns out. Unless someone can present a new and compelling thing for me to try, I am throwing in the towel on this one.
Major bummer, but sometimes you just have to call it.

With gas that old having been run through the carbs, my bet is a piece of trash was holding the needle off the needle seat just enough so that the valve didnt close causing the flooding issue. Those carbs needed to be cleaned bad.

Ok I watched the second video. I am exactly where you’re at. Did you ever happen to find out the fix Sherwood appreciate the info your vids were great.

Ended up being jetted too rich, the owner didn’t want to fool with it anymore so he traded it

Give it to me, I’ll have it up and kicking in no time…….patience my son patience.

Lol, if we still had it I might take you up on that. The owner traded it for a 650. We were going to have to start fiddling with the jetting on it and he didn’t want to fool with it anymore

What did you use to set your float level?

@okay_motorbikes 3 ай бұрын

The way I check float level is with clear vinyl tubing on the drain, but that wasn’t the issue here

I can't take any more of this " tinkering". The floats are definitely sticking or float level messed up. Keep cranking it while playing with the throttle and you will be replacing a starter clutch

You’re absolutely right, the floats were sticking. I very likely did do some damage to the starting system with all the cranking, but the bike is long gone now 👌🏻
