well while trying to get my bike to run i pulled the carbs to check them out. ever since i haven't been getting any vacuum specifically the vacuum needed to get fuel from the tank any ideas anyone.

Pinched/disconnected vacuum line at carbs?

no the lines are fine do you thing it has anything to do with haveing drained all the fuel from the carbs while i was checking different stuff.

daining the fuel from the carbs is pretty common

one thing you could do is try to prime the carbs by putting a little bit of fuel in each carb and see if it will fire with that fuel

i'll have to try that one tommorow when my plugs get here. i paid 8.25 for them at the dealership now i ordered them from advanced auto and got the for 5.50. same plug and all.

got it running finally put in the new plugs and poured a lil fuel down the carbs fired up. only thing is i had the idle screw way up for some reason so it went straight to 9 grand....ooops. now it kinda stutters when i try to speed up while rideing. i think its the battery cause that thing is dead and it has to be jumped off to start and even then the lights on the dash seem like they want to go out then brighten back up. oh and the other wonderful thing is it started raining soon as i got all the fairings back on it so i only got to ride up the road really quick.

and also while its sitting in neutral if i rev it up it backfires on the way back down.
