Trying to clear the last hurdle on my 1100 rebuild. Had it running great, - took for a couple of spins around the block, now it has difficulty starting up (as in - won't!). I've had the carbs apart twice with all the parts soaking in SeaFoam, then reassembled. When I get the carbs mounted back on the bike, airbox installed, and hook up my temp tank, the bike fires up and purrs along like a happy kitty.
Then, a day or so later, when I try again, just turns over... and over... and over. Just happened again, after the second carb rebuild, so thought I better come to you guys for ideas. Was going to hook up my new CarbTune and was surprised when I couldn't get it to fire up. Just had one or two backfires out the back.
All the carb parts look in great shape with no visible wear on anything. Air/fuel mixture screws are backed out 2.5 turns. Vacuum line to the petcock is plugged.
I've checked spark on all four cylinders, all good. Same with compression. I'm just puzzled on why it will run great right after the cleaning, and then not want to start afterwards...
Ideas? Other info I can provide to help with the diagnosis?
