*** THIS IS A COPY OF MY POST AT A DIFFERENT THREAD/WEBSITE***

I just was outside and Yes... I siphoned the old gas out (2 gallons worth) Its Yellowish LOL. Old Gas is out (as much as I can siphon out) I put in 4 oz. of GUMOUT carb cleaner gas additive and 1 gallon of FRESH GAS. (I figured id ride up to the gas station and top off with 3 more gallons of FRESH GAS.

Well... The bike starts up ok, but as soon as I slowly close CHOKE, It Dies or wants to die! I kept it at IDLE, then slowly gave it more gas, and Held RPMs @ 4k. Then while holding it @ 4k RPMs, I slowly closed CHOKE....held RPMs @ 4k. Did this for 3mins, then slowly let off throttle, it almost idled at 1,500RPM, but after 10 secs... it died.

I kept doing this for 10 mins, then was able to hold RPMs @ 4k, Choke OPEN and rode around the block. But as soon as I slowed down to turn into driveway, I lowered throttle as I downshifted back into 1st gear, it DIED!

I cant take it for a full ride, until I put the plastics all back on, but I wondered what does all this sound to you guys?
