No......There is room to drop the bowl as long as you don't strip the screws.Have you removed the fuel line to be sure you have flow to the bowl?......If not I would do that first.

KK you will need to remove the carb......Something is stopping the flow of fuel into the bowl........I bet the float is holding the needle closed against the seat.

Yep.....When you get the carb out & bowl off.....Hold the carb in upright position with petcock on "Prime"..... fuel should run out the seat.

[Mr Horta]

okay so I just got the carb out here is a small vid trying to show you whats up any ideas on what i should do before putting the carb on

[Mr Horta]

if the carb isn't the problem i think it could be the coil spark plug was changed less then 300 miles ago... also a little more history it died on me while driving at about 35 mph.. steady...

Would not be spark when it starts on a prime.....You have good fuel flow to fill the bowl right?

[Mr Horta]

yeah bowl fills up fast have yet to put carb back on

Can you verify spark? Pull the plug, crank and see if there is a spark.... Does using the choke make any difference? With my bike I can just tell by how things sound when I crank it... Sometimes it'll start without choke, sometimes the choke is necessary...

Just inputting....
