Post bike wont start.

ok im working on an 07 ZZR600. the shift drum broke and i split the case and replaced it. since i was that far in i reseated the valves too. when I put the motor back together i set the timing and checked and recheck to make sure it was right. i checked it 4 times. 3 times on the bench and once more in the frame. im getting fual, spark, and air but she still wont fire up. i crank it and hit the gas and it sounds like it wants to sart but wont. if i dont hit the gas it doesnt sound like it wants to start. when i prime it (by turning the gas a few times) blue flame shoots out the carbs? any and all help would really help. ive been working on this or almost a month.

Welcome to KF. Are you sure then that you did not get the valves too tight? Do a compression test and record the numbers. Good luck

True, put a pressure gauge and verify pump pressure and check flow.

We need some numbers now unko. Otherwise we will call this another guessing game thread in which nothing will be resolved. Get the manual and get some numbers to work off of. You know that we are all here to try and help. Guessing is just not cutting it. Please help us out like we are trying to give you the best information that we can. Do I sound abit Frustrated? lol
