I recently took off the carbs on my 1990 gsxr 750 to check them out and see if they needed cleaning or anything, which they didnt... looked as if the carbs had been rebuilt within 1000 miles... the idle problem i was having was just because of a misadjusted idle screw, which i plan to fix, if i can get the bike to start... once i put the carbs back on the bike and hooked up all the various vacuum hoses and fuel lines and such, the bike just won't start... I've pulled out the spark plugs and cleaned them off, tested the spark coming through the wires (which was good), checked if there was fuel in the bowls of the carbs, which there is, put new fuel in it in case the fuel that was in it was bad (which wasn't likely since its only a couple weeks old) and completely recharged the battery... I am stumped as to why it won't start... all I did to the bike was pull of the carbs and check them out and I pulled off the air filter (which is a K&N) and cleaned and re-oiled it... I've also tried using starter fluid, but then the bike starts and runs erratically until the fluid is burned off then it dies again... a friend of mine thinks its the spark, but I dont see how that can be it... The Clymer manual I have says that a cause for troublesome starting could be the oil? I've got a new case of oil to put in the bike, but I wanted to get it warmed up and such before I changed it... I can't even think of what to try next... any ideas??
