OK, if you read, I had a gas leak, I do think the floats were stuck and causing a fuel spill, I removed the carbs and gave a good cleaning (they weren't that bad for being 30 years old)
Also while I had it apart I noticed the fuse block was crumbling, so I wired in some inline fuses and got that taken care of.
The fuse that controls the turn signals gave me FITS! I would wire it, it would die, I rewired it, worked, but the signals wouldn't flash at all. Little did I know that when the battery was low, the signals do not flash. I charged the battery for about 2 hours, went back out and it fired up on the first try, no choke, nothing, fired up like it was brand spanking new!
Thanks to all who gave me suggestions on how to.
