What do I check now while putting the carbs back on tonight?
When it does run...it pops and backfires. Will not idle or run without being choked.

bike only runs with the choke on |

I let my bike sit for a couple months without running it. Now it will only run wuth the choke all the way on. I changed the plugs, no change. Checked the
intake boots, they were loose...no only half choke to get it to run. Pulled the carbs......they are clean as new....no dirt anywhere. Have Seafoam in the
gas....changed fuel filter....tested fuel pump....good flow......

my guess would be either a vacuum leak or a blocked internal passage in the carb.

Does it backfire any?
Run a compression check. Could be an exhaust valve hanging open. duke |

Sounds to me like you jets are plugged. Make sure you clean them good. It will look like they are clean but it is like a thin layer of laquer that can plug
your jets. You will see light through them even when they are plugged. Make sure you can actually see objects through the holes.

It does sound like A jet problem or maybe the carbs are out of sinc. All the suggestions above would and could be the problem!

If you are absolutely positive that the carbs are clean, then make sure the boots are on tight and the filter in the housing. They will not sync right if the
boots have an air leak or there is no air filter in the box. Like Bigdaddy says, being out of sync will cause the a popping and choke only run condition also.

I cant believe what you said about the Indians, I just used that statement myself. I'm also very interested in joining the Patriot Guard Riders.
