So a little back story. This bike ran when I took it apart. I have redone everything over the winter and just got done rewiring the bike. I had rebuild the carbs over the winter too.
After rewiring the bike I am getting spark at each plug and the head and taillight work as they should. The bike cranks but it seems it's not getting any gas because I'm not hearing the usually pop of trying to start just cranking of the starter. I have taken the carbs off about 5 times first re-checking the jets and making sure they are all clean. Adjusted float height to 26mm and then re did them to 32mm with no difference. Brass floats. Stock air box and exhaust. Fully charged battery. Just wondering if there is something obvious that I overlooked putting it back together. When I add gas to the clean carb and try to start it
I get a loud backfire out of the exhaust and then that is it. Thanks for any ideas. Here is a picture of the basic wiring diagram I used to wire the bike.
