Bike won't start after checking valve clearances

[trilliumliz]

So the valve clearances are fine.
Have put in new spark plugs, new air filter. Thought all the connections, hoses, throttle bodies, gas lines all went together as they should. No nuts and bolts left over.

But it won't start. Almost catches but stops just short of that.

Have read the thread about hard time starting - but didn't see anything similar.

Any suggestions??

Thanks.

Did you accidentally swap the plug wires?

Tilt tank up and make sure the fuel line is not crimped.

Wondered about that - Remote possibility that the wires on #2 cylinder were swapped but unlikely.
Anyways - got it started!!!
Thanks.

That may have contributed. Lifted the gas tank and disconnected, re-aligned the hose. Still wouldn't start until letting it sit for an hour. It's going now - hopefully stays that way.

Thanks!
