Hey everybody,

Got a brand new engine in my 250. I fired it up the day I brought it home and let it idle for a little while. It was all good.

Left it on the motorcycle jack because I still needed to put the rest of the plastic on. A few days went by and I got caught up in other things. Then one day I walk into the garage and find the bike on its side. The jack had slowly let air out until the bike fell over.

I tried starting it and couldn't get it to start. I put the bike away. Then life got crazy. My truck broke, so I had to rebuild the transmission. Then I swapped a manual in the Camaro and took a trip coast to coast. It's been about a year now, and here I am trying to get that damn bike to start once more.

I changed the plug, I emptied out the old gas and put new stuff in it, I drained the carb by tipping the bike on its side, and I kicked it until my leg was about to fall off. Even tried to push start it down my driveway.

Any ideas? I just want to ride. :(

You need to pull the carb and clean it. Today's gas is horrible, and year old gas is worse. The jets may be stopped completely up. Also check the reeds.
