No spark, just got the bike

Update: new oem fuel pump arrived, it’s obvious the old fuel pump was aftermarket as the wire harness was blue and this is black. Just placed, hopefully the final order from ronayers for every misc bolt to get all the plastics back together. Got the carburetors apart and their surprisingly pretty clean. Carb 1 pilot screw 1.5 turns, 2-4 were 2 turns. I noticed in the manual final turns out were 3/4. I’m wondering if this was increased due to the slip on and if I should try maybe leaving it as is and see how it runs. No jet kit. Ordered new float needles as they had a nice wear mark. Can’t wait til she’s back together with the new upper fairing, it’s going to look new!

She’s up and running great! May need to mess with the pilots as the power really isn’t great until 6k rpm’s, as I’d imagine with a slip on and close to factory turns out. But after 6k she rips! Ended up replacing front rotors as right side was warped. Rebuilt both front calipers because they were sticking pretty bad which probably caused the warping. Replaced the CCT with oem and rattle went away. Ordered a used exhaust header due to a hole where the intermediate pipe goes to the exhaust causing a slight exhaust leak. That will be the last thing I have to do and fairings go back on and time to enjoy! Here are some pics.
Really didn’t want to spend the money on a stand as I might sell for a profit so don’t laugh!
