Probably a plugged needle jet.... take your carbs all the way apart and clean them.

[old put-put]

check your carb vents, check your fuel inlet on carbs for blockages. How much fuel is in the tank, is fuel filter clogged etc?

Tank is full banshee just got all put back together and cleaned

then there is your answer, good luck, floats and needles it is.

check the fuel tank vent, make sure it will flow right with the cap on and off, also try blowing through the fuel lines to the carb/s if its still stock carbies

then tap on the carbs to free up the floats maybe that will let them drop if there stuck

[tristan]

Fuel flows freely with or with out gas cap and have tried it when lines hooked to carbs and nothing

X2 on the floats and needles. The needles and seat get crap built up on them and won't open to let fuel in the bowl.
