[sparty]

i apologize in advance for the length of this post, but i'm having some serious trouble with my bike. i've never had it running before and i've been rebuilding it for the last two months. the problem i'm having is in the carbs, or at least i'm 90% sure it is. i picked these carbs up from a salvage yard and pretty much replaced everything that needed to be replaced and cleaned everything else out.

i know the bike will run because it will run with starter fluid, so right there i know theres compression, and spark. the battery has been completely charged multiple times by myself and interstate batteries, and the carbs are getting fuel into the float bowls. i also made sure the little brass tube was cleaned out because when i shot brake cleaner into the hole in the choke, it dripped out of that tube, so that passage is clean.

now my question is, what other options do i have to explore? i've cleaned everything that i could see that could be cleaned, and as far as i know all of the pieces are there and in working order, so i need a carb expert to tell me why the bike won't crank, i'm not even concerned about tuning them right now, just getting it started. thanks, -Andy
