Had trouble get bike to run after sitting for 2 years, drain the gas, acid cleaned the tank, took carbs apart and cleaned out real good. got everything back together, now the over flow off the rear carb pours gas out. it runs but pours gas. Tried to put in 2st and it grinds REAL HARD and instantly dies. Can anyone help? Im about to sell it. but i dont want to.

The float may need to have an adjustment or be checked for parts in the right way.(fuel not being regulated by the float, is caused by worn or damaged needle,or still got trash) once you get this solved the grinding will not be so bed(you will have more safe control of rpms)

A week ago i took my bike to get fixed at a shop it had been sitting for about 2 years the guy said it was a dirty carb and a dirty gas tank he cleaned both and the bike ran fine i rode it for 2 min. or so...

Try replacing spark plug,and check for spark if you do good,check to see if you have fuel to carb,at bottom of carb there is a float bowl screw loosen the screw and let fuel drain,tighten screw,choke and try again,sometimes when bike sits that long it may need one or two cleans,the bad gas that was in it still has varnash build up and can still clog up the jets.hope this helps.

Only stays running on choke, sounds a bit rough, new plugs

Gas these days ****, and standing gas sucks even more. Drain your carbs and flush out your fuel tank. good luck

It wont stay running in stalls out from time to time

Change the fuel filter,clean the carb jets again,and replace the air filter.This should take care of it but sometimes when they sit for awhile,you will need to clean the carbs numerous time as the gunk in the tank continues to wash down into the carbs.
