I have a motorcycle trailer for sale. Put one in the bed and one on the trailer.

Stepped away for the rest of today. Re-watching Altered Carbon on Netflix. I have the factory Service manual. Next time I get into it I'll try tapping the carbs. Thank you.

I wonder if some of the float are stuck in the up position not letting the fuel fill the bowls? Make sure you are working with a strong battery because even though it is turning over, I have found that my bikes get harder to start when the battery gets weak.

Step away for a bit. Do you have an owners manual

So while I'm figuring out how to update the topic title I'll give an update. First thing I did was check oil level. That was fine so second guessing my original guess on why engine not turning over. Next thing was to put up on center stand, put bike in 5th and try to rotate wheel backwards (Thanks Joe). Moved a little bit so I thought I would try hitting the starter again. Bike turned over! Sweet! Not hydrolocked. Flat spot in starter? Who knows. I am dealing with a fuel delivery issue though because bike will not start. Catches on full choke but will not stay running. Only firing a bit while starter engaged and choke on. End of vacuum hose was dry and split so trimmed it and reconnected. Still same. Is there a way to test the valve/diaphragm to see if it works? What do I need to apply enough vacuum to see if the diaphragm is still good. My lips? As usual thank you all for your help.

How else am I to stoke the fire?!?! But no, this is a proper Blackbird, the original fastest bike in the world, not that white thing with fuel infection. Which was beautiful. This one's living outside for now, but I'm glad you mentioned that because I've been considering moving it indoors.
