Welcome to another member from the GTA! Just got my 81 Special II running. Good luck with yours!
Welcome! This Forum is like the Oracle at Delphi if you need any help.
Which model do you have - the sohc or the dohc?
A DOHC that doesn't run? That's unpossible!
Probably the carbs...
Post pics and questions. And if I ever get mine back together, we'll go for a ride sometime.

Thanks all. Not too sure which one yet. (Need to reread the History thread...) Monoshock style. Picked up a battery, took the carb off and started the process....wish me luck. Get er goin Bentwrench Im on Oakville Burlington boarder.
Sounds like a DOHC.
Either way, if it only had one carb, it's no wonder it won't run.

Nice.
If you have trouble, I'm just south of the QEW between 3rd and 4th line.
But, I have a newborn, so I may be asleep.
Still, PM if you get stuck.
