I´m having trouble getting my bike started. I purchsed off craigslist knowing that the bike didn´t start. The previous owner said it ran fine, however, after a year of sitting OUTSIDE and UNCOVERED it didn´t fire. I changed the plugs, the battery and it still won´t fire. It´s close to turning over, I´am getting some action. The gas is old and probably should be drained. I assume I need to drain the old gas from the line, correct? Can anyone confirm this? Other suggestions or issues people have had?
