sooooo hard to start

[old roost]

Ok so I have a new rebuild .60 over stock head stock pipes, v force reeds, boost bottle.

Here is the problem; it took me forever to get the carbs right ( idle) now the only way to start it is to use a little spray of eather. After that Shee will start and run perfect all day as long if dont let it sit and cool down. While it is running power is all there hits power band when it should,(i am 190 lbs and the front end wants to come up in 1 2 3 gear) and no dead spots or sputtering through the entire RPM range. My choke plunger will not work at all; could this be the issue? I am stumpped. I am supposed to go for the maiden voyage ride next weekend and do not want to have to carry a can of spray with me the whole time. or worse yet have to get towed out by a |Kawasaki LOL.

Thanks guys.

 

Oh stock carbs and k-n filters, I am also at sea level.

Have you done a plug chop to verify jetting? You need to get your choke plunger working properly. Also, did you get the float bowls mixed up between the two carb? Each bowl is different inside and the difference is in the choke circuit. Do you have the little rubber hose between the carbs that is directly inlinr with the choke plunger?

yeah carb are the way they should be, yes the connecting tube is there. |How would i do a plug chop?

well, if the bowls are on the correct carbs, then take the choke jet out of the left carb bowl(choke knob carb) and clean it out. see if that helps. if there is not a jet in there, then it's the wrong bowl. it looks like a pilot jet.
