Here's the story, bought a standard from a guy who left it sit for minimum 5 years.
Had gas in it too. I pulled the carbs completely apart, cleaned every inch (I think) and replaced the air cutoff valves and all the o rings and gaskets. blew out the gas tank and refilled with new gas. Changed the oil and coolant although it was pretty good.
Put the whole thing back together and it cranks over but won't start....not even close like no firing at all. Checked the fuel supply and its coming out of the pump and undid a few of the float crain bowls and there's gas in the carbs. Checked the spark and it sparks at all plugs.
By the way it has only 33000 KMs on it so the compression is still up there. Valves are all working too.
Any ideas oh Goldwing gurus?
