Hey everyone hope you guys had a nice Memorial Day weekend!
Bike: I have an 79 xs650 bored out to the 707cc with a Boyer ignition system installed to give me the bare minimal wiring for a chopper style bike with a kick only setup.
Issue:
I do have spark. The only way I can get the bike to start or fire is to place a glove around each carb to create a vacuum to get gas to the engine. I can get the bike to turn over but not idle or run for more than a few seconds. I have gone through each carb and it is near spotless.
Question: Is there any other way that gas would not be going to the engine? I will go through and check once again to see if the pilot jet I clogged.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
