Actually no the bike still isn't running yet. However significant progress has been made. I eventually found someone in my neighborhood that is great with bikes and with his help got the bike started again and for almost a full 10 seconds it sounded great, right up until fuel started spraying out between my carbs. After separating all 4 carbs it turns out I now need O-Rings for the fuel tubes, which I haven't gotten around to getting yet.
I am pretty sure tho that will be the last of my issues once I get around to finding and buying new o-rings.

I appreciate the info and I will look into that mod, but since both sets of carbs leak like a sieve at the moment, I'll stick with the newer carbs and keep the old set as parts replacement. Already has come in use since I snapped the main bolt that holds the carbs together trying to tighten them enough for it not to leak.

 

Could you share with us what your neighbor had to do, to get the bike running? Did he find an air leak or something? Just trying to see what might be messing up my f4 carbs.
