I just took apart my carbs, cleaned them and replaced the pilot jets with #20's, went to go start it and nothing.
I checked the drains on each of the bowls and no gas was coming out as it was before when I started. So I know that the bowls are just completely empty. I have put the petcock on prime, is that all there is to do but wait until they fill with the prime? Or is there some sort of trick to get them back filled up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this as I am very new to motorcycles and maintenance on them.
Thanks
