Hey guys, new here and just wondering if anyone could lend me some knowledge.
86 classic 50 and had problems starting it last year so I replaced the gaskets in the carbs as well as what I believe are the fuel pump diaphragms. All of the fuel lines are brand new as well as myline to the motor. Had it running great but took her out on the water to give it the final test. Ran good, let her cool down for a bit then she wouldn't restart! Thought I was flooding it but plugs were dry and all had great spark. both bowls on the carbs were full and drained when I loosened them to test the needles. I don't know if I had to set the jets as I reinstalled them when I did the carbs but they seemed tightened all the way.
Someone please help.

Dumb question maybe but did you accomplish a thorough cleaning of the carbs prior to assembly with new gaskets?
