Sometimes if you turn them upside down, the float will hang and cause the Carb to flood. Have you removed the float bowls? Did you take the slides out of the carbs when you had them off?

Did you put the little rubber tube back in that goes between the carbs. I have done it a couple times and it will make it not start

if it's not the cross over tubes then i would check the floats,cause i dont think you have a cross over but not 100 percent.i would slap new plugs in it and check the floats.

Ok:

 

-What really happend?

-Why did you pull off your carbs? - To put VF3's in?

In This case ^ Does that mean you didnt change anything?

-What did you change for it to not start now?

-Will it start if you hold throttle open? (1/2 - WOT)

-Pull that boost bottle off and put the crossover tube back on!

-Why wont the VF3 reeds fit and your other aftermarket ones will? What are they?? - your making no sense, switch them out already..

 

Give us more info or we cant help you, Eliminating one thing at a time can help us out.
