Turning the throttle has nothing to do with getting gas to the carbs - the vacuum from cranking/running opens the diaphragm in the petcock and allows fuel to flow. That's why I was asking you to confirm fuel in the floatbowls.
You wouldn't be the first to forget to connect the vacuum line back to the petcock.

Haha, maybe a little bit of attitude for the vacuum line, but not for the next part. The tubes on my bike have been in the same position for so long that they practically connect themselves. I'd know if the vacuum line wasn't connected because there would be a hose that's not connected to anything where it clearly should be!
And thanks for the lesson on how the fuel gets to the carbs. I always thought the throttle controlled that, but I guess that just allows the fuel to get into the carbs, not how it travels to the carbs in the first place?
