Hey! Glad to see you're still here!
Yea, I think I toasted the starter clutch again....she's just spinning now Damnit.
Scott I am not tired of hearing about your bike!!!!!!!!!!
If you have compression, spark, and fuel at the right times Bertha should run.
If you didn't mess with the timing during your repair don't mess with it now.
Plugs
1) Verify spark by pulling a plug and with the plug wire connected to the plug touch the plug to the head and hit the start button. Did that, but I don't think they were sparking often enough.
2) Double check plug gap.Done
Carb
Take the air cleaner off and make sure fuel is going through carb when you twist the throttle.
I got rid of my carb like that one a few years ago so I have very little experience with it which is why I said check your manual for the settings.
Did you mess with your valves at all? They were ground and the seals replaced
Did you hook your VOES up? yup
Get a compression gauge to check exact compression.With new rings and freshly honed cylinders, why would the compression be bad?
Never spin your starter more than 5 seconds at a time and give it time to cool off between tries.

Even with new rings and valves check compression to make sure your valves are operating correctly.
Open throttle take air cleaner off and squirt 2 seconds of carb cleaner into it to verify if it is a fuel problem.
Double check your push rod adjustment.
Did you change lifters?
All I can come up with at this time.

Traildog, what number is the "mode select" set to, on the Daytona Twin Tec module.
That module could be set up for dual or single fire,depends on which coil you have.
And what's the number on it, 1007EX?

Ok, I'm going to get a compression tester. I also need a new starter clutch damit!
Thought, before the surgery, sometimes I would go out to start her and she fired right up. Other times, she would take forever to start.
Is there something that could have been going out slowly and is finally toast?
I had a nice dream about riding last night......about 40 miles into the ride to the EVO party.............
DAMIT!

I have the DTT ignition too, I would run into a similar no start situaition when it was cold, the voltage drop to the coil was enough for the ignition to misfire.
I would get it to start by holding a jumper wire on the + post of the coil to the + side the battery(or + on starter, more accessible) until I had a chance to install a relay.
Once started no more problems the rest of the day.
