I'll have to start a photobucket account or something to post pics tomorrow.
I tried to start again today and something frightening happened. Gas started shooting out of the carburetor vents. Does this mean my float valve could be stuck? It was starting to get dark so I quit. Like a chump.

Update:
Since gas was shooting out of the vent tube ports the last time I worked on the bike (the tubes were off), I figured the carb was flooded because of a stuck float valve and tapped the float bowl. I disconnected the fuel line and drained the carb of fuel, installed the vent tubes, reconnected the fuel line and tightened everything up. Bike still wouldn't start.
Could the air/fuel mixture be so far off to keep the bike from starting? The air mix screw is stripped beyond belief, so there's no adjusting it.
I also noticed the right side of the carburetor was wet with gas when I was looking at the air mix screw. It seemed it might have been slowly leaking out of the enrichment valve cover. I tightened all the screws on the cover and noticed one of them was fairly loose. If there was an air leak in this part of the carb, could that also be a possibility of why the bike won't start?
I'm looking for a direction to go in since this is my first time working on a motorcycle (or engine, for that matter). THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

These people are good to buy from. The screw is the same for all years.

There has been a lot done to this bike, the carb, the cam chain, and the valves adjust, and from what you insinuated, it was not done by you.
How do we know that the valve timing is correct, or that the valves were adjusted correctly. Any of these repairs or adjustments could cause the engine to not start, or run incorrectly.

Hi all i just got a 98 ls650 for the wife.
I had the carb rebuilt and the bike fires right up my issue is that i get a fuel mist from carb air inlet. I think it is to rich but I am not 100% on that. Any thoughts?
Thanks
By inlet i mean where the air cleaner goes

Are air screws, springs, washers and brass plugs the same for all model years?

Does your air cleaner pipe and adapters block off the vent hole? The vent is at the top of the inlet opening in this photo.

I'm just gonna throw this out there since no one has mentioned it...
spark, if you have a raptor installed on the bike now you will need to block off the vacuum port on the carb (I used a small screw and then capped it with a rubber cap).
It is on the right side of the carb near the enrichment valve...
Is it blocked off?
