Well I messed with it some today and the pump seems to be working at least on one carb hose and I blew in he tank and gas came out the hose so I don’t think it’s plugged i think I’ll try a new set of plugs instead of cleaning the old ones over and over. I have a cold so I’m kinda pacing myself today 🙁

Today I pulled the carbs and cleaned them there was no white stuff in the bowl of the carb or anywhere. However some of the jets were plugged it looked like so I sprayed them out till I could see through them. The bowl was almost shiny clean on all of them. When I put it all back together it started first pull but died soon after and I think it was running on cleaner that was in the carb so my thinking is it has to be the fuel pump or filter I couldn’t get the filter off and I don’t have a new one but I will I might gas to cut it out and replace the hose is there a way to yes the pump?

What’s the best way to adjust them on a triple? I know on a dirt bike you adjust the idle screw but how do I adjust three of them

This is what I found if I clean the plugs and put fuel in the cylinders it will start right up and die after a sec so I kept doing this and most of the white gunk seems to be clearing up even gone sometimes but it still won’t start and run on its own. So I took the fuel line off and it smells/looks like gas but not much was coming out of the line. So I looked closer and just behind the gas shutoff valve there is a white thing a couple inches long I’m thinking its a fuel filter maybe its plugged up any ideas?

Well I’ll see what I can do with it

I cleaned up the plugs and put some gas in but it’s like 85 octane I wonder if a higher octane would help it
