No fuel getting into cylinder

[linus186]

hi, new here and can't find anything on the issue I'm having so I decided to post.

 

I have a 2001 Banshee that a friend and I bought needing a top end. It was off the quad when we bought it. We got a new piston kit and got it bored and put it back together but it won't start.

 

It has Keihin "race only" carbs - I'm not sure of anything about them. Also, it's got upgraded reeds and FMF pipes.

 

The seller said it ran fine but I don't know if we should believe that. Anyway, we got it to run briefly by spraying starter fluid into the carbs. The airbox was broken so it was only open carbs but we just wanted to see if it would fire. It was only run for 2sec this way. We still noticed that the plugs were dry so I covered the carb openings almost completely and it would attempt to run but I didn't want to push it without the airbox.

 

Yesterday we put the new airbox on with a K&N and open lid - just like the broken setup from the seller. We tried to start it but it is still not getting gas to the cylinders.

 

I verified that gas is flowing to each carb. I'm thinking it's a vacuum issue but have no idea what to do next. Could the float level be too low?

 

I'm stuck here. Any ideas are appreciated. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

First thing you need to do is pull the carbs (one at a time so shit don't get mixed up)and clean them real good. Inspect the insides for wore parts or clogged jets cause if it set for a period of time with fuel in it its prolly gumed up. After putting it all back together do a leak down test on it and make sure you have no air leaks.
