Well,
I picked up the bike yesterday!  Exciting to finally get it home!

BUT, After getting it unloaded, I fired it up to take a few hot laps around the neighborhood just because I was so pumped to ride it.

I fired it up and it ran for about 15 seconds with the choke on, then died.  I tried to get it fired again, but to no avail.  Maybe I should have took the choke off right after it fired?

I figured I flooded it so I let it sit for about 30-40 minutes, then tried again, but still couldn't fire it.   Could it be fouled plug?  I know the gas has been sitting for a long time, but it fired and ran fine when I first looked at it a few weeks ago.   I noticed a small bit of gas dripping from one of the tubes underneath, is this normal?  I figure it can't be that tough to figure out since it did fire right up.

I was going to do a thorough cleaning today........drain the old gas and refill with 32:1, change the plug, tranny oil, adjust and lube the chain, and begin to try and figure out the suspension settings.

But to be honest, I don't have much experience with these bikes, only the kids little bikes that are a piece of cake to maintain.

Any suggestions or insight to get it fired?
Again, thanks for the help!
I will post pics once I get it cleaned up!
