I just picked up a 97 speedster that has been neglected. When I got it the engine bay had water up to the air box. I drained the exhaust, drained the fuel tank, pulled the plugs and cycled the pistons to pump out the water oil mix, pulled the carbs and tore them down and cleaned them out.
Now I can get both running but I cant get either to stay running without using starting fluid or choke it completely. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok so I did a compression test
-Port Engine
- Bow 90lb/sq.in
- Stern 145lb/sq.in
-Starboard Engine
- Bow 145lb/sq.in
- Stern 145lb/sq.in
When I had the plugs in and carb off there was a light brown liquid pumping out of the pulse line. I'm assuming this is what my lower end is full of? How do i drain it and would this require me to drain the oil in the lines also?
