Just got an 85 v30 that had been stolen and was in the police impond.  The ignition was drilled out and while the new one gets here I have been jumping across pins on the connector to basically hot wire it on.  I took the carbs off, soaked, cleaned, and reassembled them.  It will turn over but will not run.  If I spray carb cleaner into the open air box it will fire for a few seconds but will not stay running.  I've checked for spark, and the fuel pump seems to be pumping fuel.  I don't mind getting my hands dirty but I just don't know what to try now.   I wan't to make her live again so any help would be great!!!

I can help you get it running, it is the slow speed needle on the carbs, if you are willing to bring it to my place in Seagoville and turn a few wrenches??

I would welcome the help and don't mind the trip or getting dirty.  Just let me know how to get in touch (I'm new to this) and Thanks!!

Kirk if ya want it done pretty soon, I am off on Fridays (although I will be busy this coming Friday LoL) and always willing to turn a wrench.
Or I plan to organize a wrench session in the coming weeks for a Saturday, I have to check my schedule first.
