OK, so some of you will remember my incident of setting my bike on fire from a gas leak in the carbs. Leak fixed after a new set of float needles/seats, and a float height adjustment. Well the gas filled carbs seemed to get some gas into my oil as well. Not much, but some. I warmed the bike up a few, dumped the oil, filled it back full, tuned the engine over a couple times, dumped it again, then refilled.
Then i tried starting my bike up, on full choke it sputtered for a minute at about 1300-1500rpms before dying. And I havent been able to get it going since.
Sounds rather primitive but have u tried bump starting,preferrable with a friend pushing.
Possibly it just needs a little more encouragement to fire........................can't do any harm.

No luck....I'm just trying to find out what could have happened
I can't think of anything that would relate the 2 (oil change and now not starting). If it ran for a little bit around 1300rpm and now won't start, I suggest looking back at the carbs. Sounds like the float bowls are empty.
WORKING
Choke cable apparently wasnt seated tight in the carbs as it was just dangling when i took my tank off. Attached it, put the choke on, fired right up.
