the plugs seem to be getting fuel, I can smell petrol on them, but no go, still wont start.

we drained part of the tank to see if there was any indication of water but nothing.

Passing on a suggestion. Clean the carbs fully, as in remove from bike and clean, remove the plugs and clean, kick it over a few times with the plugs out to clear the combustion chambers, rig up an alternative known clean fuel supply. Replace plugs and and carbs with alternative fuel supply connected and try starting with known quality fuel from alternative supply.

Did you try cranking it spraying burney stuff into the intake? If it at least briefly starts you know its likely fuel related.

If it goes boom back out at you it wasnt my idea. Shouldnt do unless something is badly wrong/ way out of where it should be timed.

Seen a v8 with the dizzy 180 out with this method, cool fireball up from the carb, wasnt my eyebrows so even better.
