The neutral safety switch is out of adjustment. Most bike won't start unless it is in Neutral or the clutch lever pulled in. Get a new battery and charge it up full. The intake boots need to be replaced or it will run lean. That is why you need to chock it to get it to run.

2006 Expedition ran great, parked over night, would not start, battery checked Okay
See if you can jump start the car from another battery which is sound. If you can then the battery you have is rubbish and must be replaced.

Have an '82 GS550L that has been leaking gas from the left and left center carbs whether it's running or parked. Tore it apart, nothing was stuck and seems to be functioning the way it should. Not sure...
I think you are on the right track. If manually lifting a float stops the flow of gas I would suspect bad floats. Remove a float and shake it. Anything inside? It should be lite as a feather. It looks like Babbitts has them in stock for a 550M. It should be the same part for a 550L. Please rate my answer. Thanks! www.babbittsonline.com

Starting problem S&S 96 CI engine
sounds like the starter solonoid is not working properly if the batt cable got hot enough to smoke that says the batt, is ok and it is ok to jump with car, the solonoid is making the clicking noise and a real hot batt sometimes will make it work, the repair is simple and cheap if you are talented just get a solonoid repair kit three screws 5 min, and you are RIDEING.
