HELP needed g76a
Hi guys desperately need help with my G76A, I am not getting any fuel in to the engine, fuel is getting to the carbs, I can just about get it to fire with easy start, but I have checked the plugs and they are bone dry.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Ive checked the float heights 20mm all ok, had mixture screws at 1.5 turns out and have tried 2.5 out to see if it would start.
Ive been at this for weeks so any help would be appreciated

Re: HELP needed g76a
Hi Si,
Thanks for replying, bought the bike last november and bike ran great, it sat in garage until feb when i went to start it nothing so bumped it and fired up, firing on all 4 cyclinders until you open throttle then only fired on two and loads of white smoke, checked spark and ok, plugs were wet and sooty, so checked on forums and seen all problem about carbs, so this is what i have done
New HT leads & caps
new spark plugs
cleaned carbs and replaced all o rings with vitons
turned mix screw out 1.5 turns
checked float heights all 20mm so left alone
oil & filter change
so went to start her and nothing checked spark and ok at this point, then tried bumping her and nothing, took plugs out and they were dry, checked spark and no spark now!! checked pulse generator and got no ohms so got a new one and now have big spark.
but bike still no start cheked plugs and bone dry, so checked fuel pipes and all ok, carbs getting fuel ok as ive drained the float bowls and full of fuel, tried turning mix screw out to 2 turns and 2.5 turns, but nothing.
got easy start and sprayed in air filter box and bike fires up for second then dies.
So any clues you can give me Si would be appreciated and if your visiting wheel you'd be welcome here anytime
