[QUOTE="ianwodie, post: 157941, member: 1626"] Sorry for not being more specific about what I have done so far. So here it is in more detail: There was indeed old nasty fuel in the tank, which I dumped out and replaced with fresh gas. (It's not motorcycle specific, I'm not sure if that matters.) I disassembled the entire carburetor and soaked it in Sea-Foam, which isn't very heavy duty I know, but I was able to poke a safety pin through all of the jets and openings. I replaced one of the jets, which was completely clogged, and all the others seemed to be clear. I didn't notice any boots or hoses that looked dry rotted or anything like that. But I was able to start it, so that means fuel must be getting into the carb right? I think there is a problem with the throttle, because it felt very loose and only seemed like it was only pulling on the line when is was practically all the way twisted back. How do I check/fix the throttle, or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks for the replies btw [/QUOTE]
