It's great that you have spark! Now...

Seafoam is just barely above completely useless, and these carbs take a lot of diligence to get clean. An additive that has PEA likeTechron can help with slightly clogged carbs, but if it won't idle, it's time for a complete disassembly and cleaning/restoration.

Starter fluid can damage the very expensive diaphragms, and is not something that should be used in these CV carbs.

I always do all my own carb work, but in this case I had Ducatiman restore mine to new condition.
