I bought this last year for $600, pretty good deal as I was told it ran but had sat for two years.


I have so far replaced the oil, oil filter, and cleaned the air filter. I have also replaced the spark plugs on this as well.
At this point I could only get it to run with the choke on. It would not idle.
I have recently taken the carbs apart and cleaned them out cleaning the jets and bowls it did not look too bad except for one clogged jet. I put it back together and actually got it to run.
At first it took a while to get it to idle and now idles fairly high but is running super hot and hissing a bit. I am going to take them off again as I now need to take out and clean the idle jets. Hopefully that gets it running a little better.

I am pretty stoked to have it at least moving and am looking forward to doing a little more. Any advice is welcome.

I will post again as the pictures do not seem to be loading
