New top end in my '86 and now its hard to start. It took about 5 minutes of kicking to get it going. Was started it ran fine and I could shut it off and restart it no problem. I'm not getting fuel. I have good spark and 130 compression. The carb only has a couple of rides on it since rebuild.

How long did the carb set with fuel in it?

I drained most of the gas when I took the bike apart. I'll pull and check out carburetor tomorrow.

The bike was down about 5 months.

If it is not getting fuel, then the carb is the place to start.
just saw additional post.... old gas in bowl can get crusty quickly.
