Drain tank also and start all over with new fresh gas.

Carb cleaned and reconnected, still no go. Best I get is a super loud pop followed by some smoke from the exhaust.
Update: RUNS AGAIN!
Finally sucked it up and took it to a buddy, who noticed that I had disconnected the stator among other things when I took the carb off to clean it. Back to a 2nd kick bike.
Breaks my heart to do this, but the injury to my foot has turned out to still be worse than I thought. I can't kick the XR over reliably without an occasional stab of really severe pain. Rather than try to track down and install an e-start, I'm just cutting my losses and selling it.
It's Philip's old bike. He did all the work (other than a recent carb cleaning by yours truly) and it's great. Just needs someone who is capable of kicking it, and doing so more regularly than me. Between the kid and my foot, I'm out of luck.
I'd buy squeaky in a heartbeat if I didn't have a baby due in 3 weeks, and was starting a home inspection business on the side.

Making my introduction. Just picked this one up a few weeks ago. Previous owner took great care of it. I need to adjust the sag on the shock since I'm about 25 pounds lighter than the last owner. Once I get more comfortable on the bike and familiar with the range I'll take it out for some of the TWTEX group rides.
It's a 96 XR400R, ignore the decals on the plastics.
If you're not married to the a-loop seat, tank, and shrouds, and want enough capacity to actually do some DS rides, that gear has a pretty high Street value on eBay.... Like $400+ to the right guy.

That is one SWEET XR there! Makes me miss mine... On engine mods Id personally stay stock bore and maybe a cam. Honestly when I had mine, the best mod I ever did was an E-start and a pumper carb... No kicking unless battery was dead, and after a spill I didnt ever have to deal with a flooded engine making it hard to kick plus the pumper carb was SOOO much nicer than the old school stocker with no accelerator pump...
