    I have been working on 82 650 seca clean carbs ,new plugs,fresh fuel,lines and filterchange oil and filter,fork seals,new rear tire,rear brake light switch general cleaning and detail as I go ,but bike is very hard to get going seemed fine the first day Icleaned carbs but after setting a couple days I had to use starting fluid to get going but seems to run good once I get going, but is a little slow to return to idle, seems like number 1 isnt hitting on ign.,the other three pipes are warm to the touch after a few unsuccessful attempts
    but 1 is still cold all are firing good all have around 150 psi comp,carb holders and airbox boots are very good this bike only has 4200 miles I know its close but not there yet I guess I missed something in the carbs choke or what,I had it all apart spray carb cleaner thru every passage followed up with compressed air what did I miss???

    did you polish the slide bores?
    did you bench sync before putting the carbs back on? what do you plugs look like when you idle it after it starts?
