Belching fire through throttle body
I cannot figure out what happened.... I took the tins off for painting. While I was doing that (2 and a half months), I decided to do some other things:
1. 2 into 1 exhaust
2. throttle cables
3. wash with Simple Green solution to reach the grime on the engine and frame.
When I put it back together, I noticed that it was hard to get the fuel assembly to seat right on the tank flange; I had to push it down a little to start the screws.
Now, when I start it, it fires right up and idles for about 30 seconds and then intermitently coughs fire into the throttle body and eventually dies.
I have checked for loose plug wires, and I think it is getting enough fuel. Is there any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like mabe the fuel lines could be still pluged from the painter . What year are you playing with ? Is there fuel tank in the tank or gravity feed ? Check those fuels to see if someone capped them .

Make sure the line from the tank to intake is clear. Start at the easy points. Disconnect both ends and blow threw it , making sure its clear.
