So first post and it’s asking for help. But I’m at a loss.
Picked up the 05 from my inlaws because they wanted to get it going for camping season.
it’s been sitting in a barn for the last year and a half so they went out threw a battery in in and tried to fire it up…for some reason it wouldn’t do more than chug a few times an die…:icon_rolleyes:
I went over(courtesy of SWMBO) and picked it up to try and get it running.
List of work:
1. pulled, drained, flushed tank with fresh fuel, replaces with 4 gallons.
2. drained and replaced oil.
3. changed spark plug.
4. pulled carb and cleaned, made sure moving parts are moving, reassembled in what I think is mostly the right order.
5. Turned key. 😛
end result is the bike will kick over if I spray some starter fluid into it but won’t stay running for a second, after reassembly I did check the carb by draining the bowls and fuel is flowing in. tried using the primer but I don’t think it did much.
aaannnnd now I’m here scratching my head. So who wants to tell me what stupid little thing I missed?
