    #1 cylinder intermittently back fires.

    I just cleaned the left carb as good as I could with a can of carb cleaner (don't have air compressor). Put in fresh spark plugs. Put the battery in after charging it. Sprayed a little starting fluid in so I wouldn't have to kick so much... and nothing happened. Not even a pop.

    Things worked out so I can keep it. : )

    Due to financial reasons I decided to let my cousin have this bike for the $ I still owe him for the top end parts. If anyone's interested I'm sure you could pick it up cheap here in Sturgis SD.

    Didn't get to my carbs today. Will probably be a while until I do.

    Correct. The pilot screws regulate fuel instead of air on my bs38's

    I pulled the float bowl plug and the gas drained out so that's not it.

    I had to replace my coil in the past because I started it with a lead off the plug so I'm conscious of that now. I will check if I put the float in upside down. Thanks for the tips guys.

    It's kick start only (starter delete) so it's kind of hard to check for spark with the plug out.

    It's running on the right side cylinder. The left side only backfires. I swaped the plugs from one side to the other and it still did the same thing then I swaped the plug wires and it did the same thing again.

    I was thinking I might have caused an itake leak when I pulled the carbs since they're pretty bad looking. I also set the floats and adjusted the sync screw by sight when I had the carbs off.
