What's up forum, I have a 1980 KZ550a that I got from a buddy. The bike was sitting for a few years and hasn't been started. I changed the coils, starter solenoid, rectifier, battery and cleaned the carbs. When I spray a little starter fluid in the carbs it putt putts but then dies (no fuel I assume). I checked the float bowls and they do have fuel sitting in them. Not sure what's happening that the fuel isn't getting to the cylinders? Hopefully someone can help me out.

Check to see if the exhaust is blocked (sitting critters like to nest and horde food) this happened to my 1981 kz1000
