Ok I have finually gotten the time and money to finish putting my bike back together. She turns over and I have gas fumes coming from the excaust, but no joy on ignition.

Battery is new, connections are clean and tight. Going to check for spark later today.

Any other things I should check, not sure how to set multi testers to see about bad componets.

Being so close to riding again that this is driving me crazy. Yes I am definatly suffering from PMS. (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. )
The carbs were off the bike while this was going on, when I reinstalled them set them back to there prior settings. Could that be too rich now?

Make sure that you have the coils connected to the ignitor correctly (experience).
