A little back story...
The bike has been parked up since around December of last year since the rear wheel bearing went bad. Bearings were replaced but now it's not starting. The facts:
Checked all connections, placed battery on Battery Tender (battery is less than a year old).
Air filter checked.
Fuel filter flows properly.
Fuel pump works as does petcock.
Choke cable engages the carburetor starting plungers correctly.
All fuses are intact.
Starting relay "clicks" when ignition is turned on, as it has ever since I got the bike.
Fuel tank vents are clear
I did not drain the carbs prior to storage; however, the bike started and idled once since the work was done on the rear wheel. After it warmed up I shut it off and went upstairs to gear up but I have been unable to fire it up again since. There are only three more things that I can think of in this situation.
1. Pull carbs and check the passeges, and maybe blast some aerosol-type cleaner through them.
2. Check the conditions of the plugs and see if each one is sparking (on this bike the coils are individually built into the plug caps).
3. Temporarily borrow a functioning CDI box from another bike of the same year.
Other than that, anything else that I might have missed?
