I've came to the conclusion that my bike hates me. It was running when torn down, the head was milled and the gasket was replaced and coated. It has fuel, spark, and compression. The timing looks set. The intake looks like 1° advanced and the exhaust 1° retarded, but certainly less than a tooth. Nothing was really changed, it should just start right up. However, it doesn't. It doesn't even try to start with or without starting fluid. I'm lost. Completely.

The only thing I'm assuming at this point is that the carbs are working correctly. They are fed fuel, and I haven't touched them since I took them off. However the plugs don't look wet, maybe it is a carb problem. I have no idea what it could be. Stuck floats? Clogged pilots? Somehow the fuel enrichment circuit doesn't work...

Anybody have any ideas?
