Troubleshooting some issues and trying to get my bike to start! I pulled the carb apart yesterday and cleaned it. The jets are the manual standard size, but the PO changed the air filters to the aftermarket uni ones. I set the air adjustment screws for each carb 3 turns out per the advice I read here on the forum. The video link below is right after I put the carb back on the bike. You can hear there's still an issue and it dies pretty quickly. The other link is a recording from trying to start it tonight. It initially caught for a couple seconds, then got progressively harder to start and died quicker.
Are these symptoms of flooding? If not, does you have a guess for what to try next?
