choke hose?

slides backwards?

bowls on wrong carbs?

 

Did my previous post not show? Still sounds like a choke hose issue to me.

you said you had the carbs apart. did you get them back together correctly?

 

gas on?

fuel in the tank?

We've seen it all here

 I believe my hose is on correctly, seems to be. 

 

It is possible slides spun the wrong way as they were going in. 

 

Carbs have correct bowls, did them one at a time to avoid that happening.

 

I had carbs apart but only to rejet and clean them abit, didn't really tear into anything else, since it had been running before

 

gas is on and almost full tank.

 

I am sure! haha. I've forgotten it before, but I am sure it was on today, will check slides tomorrow.

The slides only go in backwards if put in the wrong carbs, if you can see the dot in the window they are correct.

 

It should still get fuel and start, with the throttle cracked a little though.

well, then being I took them apart individually, they are in correctly.

 

I will check that hose again in the morning. 

 

on the note of the hose, the choke used to stay on no issues... but now wont stay unless I hold it... could this be something, I didn't notice until I was trying to fire it with the fuel poured in.

No, the brass wears and does that = normal, just hold it out.

There's a thread on here on how to file the notches back.

Alrighty, then I will inspect the hose, and see if I can kick it on over in the morning. 

 

Keep the ideas a flowing though hahah I will try just about anything

Believe me I know your frustration...I had one that wouldn't start for days until I rolled it out of the shop into daylight and finally saw that damn little hose wasn't on just right! (And I was just positive that it was)

well then I will definitely look at it with a big freaking light to check, simple fixes make me happy... even if they caused me to miss riding this weekend and in the snow...

You can loosen the bowl drain screws to see if there is any gas in the carbs at all.

That will test the needle valves.

Other than that, not starting would be a plugged pilot jet.

 

Odd for both pilots or both needle valves to be not letting fuel in.

It would be my luck though they both go... bought an '88 F250 a couple years ago and the one tank's gauge all of a sudden wasn't moving. I changed which tank I was pulling from no biggie, stopped to get fuel when that 2nd was low. Gauge didn't move, filled other tank. no movement... both sending units quit within 20 miles of each other. so this would be my kind of luck

 

i am hoping its the hose hahaah
