Fail #1!

Got the carbs back on yesterday. Complete lack of catching-turns over ok still.
Thoughts on possible problems:
1. Flooded: Adjust the floats. Didn't do this before, probably should have.
2. Spark: Test all three plugs for spark.
3. Compression: hopefully it's not this, since I have no clue where to go forward on this one.
4. Maybe I didn't get all of the gunk out of the carburetor channels.

Doug Douglas Motorcycles rocked me!
I was running the kid somewhere, doing a final soak of components in carburetor cleaner, and proceeded to toss me float needles in the mixture. Needless to say, the rubber parts crumbled like a very crumbly thing.
Luckily, Doug Douglas had 3 in stock!!

BTW, the Harley part did not fit.
