I've JUST put together the carbs after cleaning everything I could clean. Slow Jets were impassable, main jets were 20% obstructed. Bought new slow jets anyway .. but haven't installed them yet.
So, I have my lesson in pvlir training yesterday, but today, in the waning daylight, I DO get the 5mm ID hose hooked up to the rear of the petcock. Tested the fuel lines TO the carbs, by pulling one of them off, and fuel comes spurting out.

All the other hoses are merely fitted but not clamped yet. Electrical connector to the carbs hooked up. Connector from the tank to the cluster just behind the tank is hooked up.
I get some cables to jump from the car battery and hook them up, pour about an ounce of gas down each stack and it roars to life. Yay! I did the timing correctly. It runs for about 2 seconds, then another 1 second, then another 2 seconds, by pouring the fuel down the carb intakes. Scratch me head, and go read stuff again.
BUT it won't stay running on the normal fuel supply lines.
I tried it on full choke.
I tried it by twisting the throttle, both with and with out any choke. Triple check the pvlir lesson from yesterday. Fuel ON is achieved by turning the 8mm valve, all the way counter clockwise yeah?
What did I miss? What else can I do to get it running consistently?
Help! Mommy!
