thats quoted from the thread you posted @DannoXYZ. tomorrow i think I am going to go through them entirely to see if mine seems right. if not I might DM Ducatiman. I am pretty certain they have all the right internals since it didnt run right with the internals from my other bike. Even though I am technically the first owner the local shop I bought it from "went through the carbs" before I bought it and at the time their shop wasnt the best at keeping quality work. It did sit for about 6 years so its probably plasticized gas stopping up vent or vac lines inside the carbs. Theres nothing else it would really be other than carbs. Especially considering when I used to ride the bike it was always a question if it would even start in the 60ºs and below and to be honest even on 100º days sometimes it didnt want to start well I think the two separate times it sat unused is the reason not that its missing anything

I bought the bike in 2011 I think with 4 miles on it. Since its a 2007 model it was built in 2006. 5 years of sitting before I bought it and 5-6 years since I rode it last

I will post a picture full disassembled and yall can tell me what yall see
