      Read the carbs101, there adjustments to check/make as you put them back together. Sounds like your float height may be adjusted wrong, since there was fuel in the oil.

        Thank you both very much for the advice. I'll go to carbs 101 and do my research. I just took them apart and sprayed them with carb cleaner and threw them back together last time. This time I'll take my time and try to understand how they work and what I'm doing... I'll let you know how I make out.

        Zord... I ordered them online at http://www.flyncycle.com/. Be careful... some of the headlights they sell do not come with mounting hardware. Also, read Cintidude04's comment on the previous page; the headlights are not DOT approved. I had them shipped overnight and I think I paid $100.

                Thanks buddy! Once I get the carb issue settled I'll get back on track with the streetfighter build and post more pics.

                  Check to make sure the floats are set correctly in the carbs.

                  Also make sure your needles are in good condition and are sealing properly. When they are sealed you should not be able to blow into the fuel inlet with your mouth.

                  Good luck

                    Thanks buddy! I've been trying to get brave enough to get back to work on it. I finally pulled the carbs out tonight but then I heard my xbox calling my name from the living room.

                    I'll check the floats and make sure the needles are sealing properly. Great advice; I really appreciate it.
