Hope someone can help me out. I seem to be brain dead on this. I have restored a 1972 xs2. Was running great until I was sucking up rust. I pulled tank and cleaned and coated. Came out perfect. I pulled the carbs and soaked them, replaced on of the diaphragms that had a hole, new fuel lines, blowed out all passages and reassembled. I have good spark but will not start. Acts like it is flooding out. Fouling out the new plug after a few attempts.
I may have the floats in upside down or out of adjustment. How do you know which way is correct to put the floats back in. When I took them out to check for leaks while cleaning the carbs, I thought I had them back in correctly.
If not that, then what else might be causing my baby to flood out. Help. It wants to start and has burped a few times. Seems to want to start after I drained the fuel out of the bowls and then tried to start it.
