probably should repost this under "other bikes" since it is a DOHC and not a SOHC

do you mean the cylinder of the carb?  which you might be able to peer into to see.

or do you mean the actual cylinder?  which you should not be able to see gas "shooting" up into.

your engine needs to make vacuum pressure in order to pull gas/air out of the carbs... is it running when you check?
basically... i think we need some more info.
unless someone else knows exactly what he's trying to say.

CL450 carbs don't have accelerator pumps. If there's gas in the bowls, flip the choke on and it should fire....
if all else is well.


Happy trails.

Unless of course your jets are completely clogged?
