Like the title says, my bike won't start. Two weeks ago it would start up right away but in those 2 weeks I've changed a few things.
• adjusted the valves
• rebuilt the carbs
• replaced the carb and airbox boots
• replaced the air filter

I checked the spark plugs and they are not wet and have spark. I think that there is no fuel in the carbs because I opened up the float bowl drain screws and nothing came out. I might be mistaken but I would think fuel should pour out? I've left it on prime for maybe 5 minutes. Should I leave it longer, or maybe it's something else.

Any help is appreciated,
