That's exactly what I've found, everything seems to be old. Thanks for the link. I was able to get the airbox out last night, and I'll cut it down today, and then remove the top of the carbs. I'm hoping to see some gummy/gelatinous mess in there, like I used to see on my Cutlass 442 if it sat too long.

To get it to run right, you will need to do everything exactly correct. The carbs will need to be spotless internally, and adjusted properly.
If you don't want to tackle it yourself, search "ducatiman" here. He's the go-to carb guy that can do it all. |
Thanks for that link. That seems to be like the gospel how to around here. I'm not too intimidated by the carb, I've rebuilt Quadrejet and Edelbrock carbs before for cars, but just wanted a sort of reference just in case.

100% agreed. But I Figure removing the black tops caps, and cleaning them out if probably worth a shot, for a bike with only 8500miles, and say for a couple of years until recently.
