Well. I got new bowl gaskets and installed them. Put the carbs back in place, pod filters back on, cables hooked up. Capped the right carb vacuum nipple, secured left carb vacuum nipple to petcock. Petcock set to ON, poured some gas in to tank. Set petcock to PRI for a few seconds to let some gas in, then set it to RES. Hit the ignition a few times and listened to the engine turn over but not catch. Did this a few times. Fiddled with the throttle/choke, primed some more gas in to the carbs, still nothing. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I do occasionally get a single sputter out of the exhaust but it sounds like backfiring.
When suddenly, smoke begins to flow out of my left carb from the pod filter. All I can say is - What? Also, help!

From the carb pod? I would double check maybe there is a loose wire and sparks are hitting some leaking gas?

First pull your plugs & see if they are wet,you may have flooded the engine bad.If plugs are dry be sure your choke is working.Report back & we can go from there.

How did you come along with this I am having the same problem? I recently changed on of my piston rings so I took everything apart. Did you have any look with the spark plugs or was it something else?
