Bike won't start

So today I successfully fixed my leaking petcock. I figured I may as well clean my carbs while im in there even though my bike ran just fine. After removing the carbs, I realised I wasnt gonna be taking out any of the JIS screws without stripping them so I decided to just the put the carb back into the bike. All the hoses are back where they should be, tank back on, petcock set to prime and engine just wont turn over. Any ideas?

put it in neutral and turn the throttle all the way (WOT) then start it. Assuming you have done everything right and somethings not stuffed I think its either flooded or got no fuel in bowls of carbs. WOT when starting puts it in 'clear flood mode'.
