Hey guys, got the bike out to work on getting it started but it wont. Plugs are dry and new, cleaned banjo fitting from tank to carb that had dirt in it, nothing. dumped some gas in cylinders and it fired up. dumped gas in intake and started then backfired and started a minor fire. anyway do the carbs need cleaned or rebuilt, if so where is the best detailed info on doing this step by step. thanks for your help

If the carbs haven't been cleaned in a while then I would say you should do that regardless of that being the problem. You can find links to a good carb cleaning guide and other info in the "Pinned" Discussion at the top of the forum page.
