Hello everybody!
So I already posted this in the Honda shadow forum. Still, I know we have many experts here, and I want to accomplish this without taking it to the shop.
I already cleaned them, (carburetors) I removed all jets, all brass pieces. I used carburetor cleaner and compressed air. I used a wire and every part is free of dirt.
Now, they are back on the bike, ('94 shadow 600 vlx), bike will crank and be close to start, but it hasn't yet. I do not want to burn the starter. I also know that I probably contaminated the oil from when the carbs were closed but I want to replace the oil until I know for sure bike is starting and running right.
What am I missing? There is fuel in the carbs I check the screw that is used to flush them.
I'm thinking of push starting it. Could the sparks be wet and they don't spark up?
Thank you, for taking the time to read this.
Tony
