GT380 dies when I give it any gas.
It was running a little sluggish and not starting back up once it was warm, so I decided to just clean the entire carburetor.
I took everything apart and cleaned it today, and then put it back on my bike.
When I first started the bike it sounded great. I put the choke on "run" and I gave the throttle just a little gas and it died instantly.
It started back up on the first try and when I gave it any gas it died again instantly.
I am afraid I may have hooked some of the tubes up wrong.
I don't know anyone else around here who rides so you help is greatly appreciated.
Please read the comments above each photograph.
I took some photographs so it would be easier to show where I think I messed up.
In the first photo you can see the valves better since the carburetor is removed.
The two outside arrows pointing to the yellow plastic valves are also going nowhere!
I don't think they ever had anything on them. Do you know?
In the second photo I have one of the tubes off the reserve side of the petcock going to a valve on top of the second carburetor.
I feel that this may be wrong. Do you know?
