The bike has been sitting since late last year, probably November. Did start a couple times during the winter. Drug it out of the garage, gave it an oil change and proceeded to ride it again. Had about 1/2 tank of gas in bike. Rode to Tahoe and stayed the night, went to start the next morning and it just turned over feeble attempts to fire, managed to get some starting fluid in there and it finally limped into running. figured it was bad gas, new fuel, next morning same routine, feeble attempts to fire, barley firing at all. Went to my shop, added new plugs now. fresh gas and still it doesn't want to start right.
Saturday morning, went to start same issues, this time got it running and had gas leak around petcock, replaced swollen plug on vacuum port and made it to my shop. Fixed the petcock, cleaned and resealed (I converted it to a manual, couple years ago). This morning, I went to get some more gas, fired right up at shop (heated garage) got to station, filled it up and it didn't want to start again. Finally did with some effort. Seemed like it gurgled a little coming off no throttle into mid range. Just doesn't seem right., like I have some gunk in carbs, possibly keeping a float from closing. Left bike at home today, just don't want to take a chance of it not wanting to start. Beautiful day too, wanted to ride around Lake, but today is do stuff with SO. May have to pull carbs (NO!!--
NOT AGAIN), any ideas?
