Default CBR F2 Carb Issues

I recently put a newer set of carbs on my 94 f2 and now the bike will not start. Do I need to prime them? SHould I use starting fluid, or just poor some gas into them? They were bone dry when I installed them. This is really frustrating, the bike may not of ran well before, but it at least ran.

Yes I did, and I hooked up the vacum line that goes to the petcock valve.

did you transfer the settings from your old bikes carb to the new carbs? needle settings pilot size etc? any air leaks around the boots? gravity should fill the floats in no time at all. you can use some starting fluid in order to prime the carbs... it is not gas, but you can use gas if you have nothing else.

Bikes have carbs? What about protein?
