Just finished the rebuild on my 1970 Raider 10. I started it last night and it seemed to run pretty good for a few minutes but I had to leave the choke on to keep it running. I figured that was because I hadn't made the final adj to the carb. After a few minutes it shut off like turning off a light switch and now wont fire a shot. I replaced all wiring, fuel lines, and rebuilt the carb during the rebuild. I confused because it seems to have good spark but even with starting fluid in the plug hole it still wont fire. Things tried...... The gas is from my can is maybe 2 months old at most. Also tried starting fluid. No fire. Gonna get new gas anyway. Removed carb again and blew out with compressed air. It seems fine but maybe I messed up the rebuild. Disconnected kill switch wire....no change. I was excited to take a test ride on my first WH after a ton of work......but as of now it's just a big red boat anchor. Any help with starting the troubleshooting process would be greatly appreciated.
