If you haven't done that already, and if you do end up taking the carbs off again (and hopefully you won't have to), definitely give that a shot. |
It only sat for maybe 30 minutes max, I put the fairings back on, dropped it from the stands, and then packed up everything and took all my tools and stuff inside, had a quick snack and then came right back out. I think the carbs must have been cleaned recently and maybe the guy didn't know, the carbs were spotless, no gunk whatsoever and I could see through the main pilot hole easily, nothing there. I've read about the battery issue but was hoping someone might have some other idea before I go buy another battery, also, if it was the battery, wouldn't it still be able to start when hooked up to a car's battery for awhile?
