CV carb help
I have a 2000 1200 xlc. I recently relined the tank and installed a gravity petcock due to the diaphragm on the stock constantly failing. The bike sat for about three months with a dry tank before i started work on it but ran at that time. The carb was spilling fuel from the overflow which led to the dry tank. I installed a standard rebuild kit and the carb does not overflow anymore. But now it wont start. I checked and double checked the installation and everything is good to go. When i twist the throttle fuel squirts in but less and less each time I twist it. It fires up long enough to burn the fuel in the intake than dies out . Any suggestions?
