FAILED TO START MY 225 FOR 10 MONTHS, DRAINED THE

Carbs need to be synchronized.

sad these little gas engines always fail when we don't want them to . requires a lot of compression to run and if not properly oiled thru the gas will fail .

choke opens up the jets just a little more to squirt more fuel into the chamber during warm up, meaning YOU NEED TO USE THE CHOKE TO START YOUR BIKE!!!

carb will need cleaning as it sounds like you've got a stuck float valve...it only leaks when you try to start it as the fuel tap only flows when the engine is turning over.
When leaving a bike stood for a while with an empty tank you should put an oily rag into it to prevent rusting...although the correct method is to fill the tank right to the top and add fuel stabiliser.

It is very common for the jets to varnish up (even with StaBil) and carb cleaner can't get into those areas. You can take the carb off and soak it in carb cleaner.
One method that I try before I take it apart is to spray a ONE second blast of starting fluid into the carb throat. Attempt to start the engine. If everything but gas is ok, the engine will start. Do it only one more time, this time with the choke on full and usually this is enough to get the engine running.
Be careful and don't do this more than twice. Starting fluid is very dangerous to use and will ruin your engine if you use more than a one second blast more than two or three times.
Have a fire extinguisher handy if you motor backfires and the carb throws a flame.

Try cleaning the carb out,(hog wash carb cleaner I use) the float may be stuck or the needle & seat.You may need a rebuild kit for the carb,about 12 bucks.hope this helps

HI HAVE YOU CHECKED YOU ARE GETTING A SPARK AT THE PLUG, AFTER THE BIKE HAS BEEN STORED AWAY FOR SOME TIME AND YOU TRY TO START THE MACHINE, DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THINGS THE PLUGS CAN BECOME CONTAMINATED, HENCE FAIL TO SPARK UNDER COMPRESSION, IF THE BIKE HAS STOOD FOR 1 SUMMER I WOULD BE CORRECT IN THINKING YOU HAVE NOW DRAINED THE FUEL AND REPLACED IT WITH NEW, YOU DON,T SAY HOW MANY CYLINDERS THIS ENGINE HAS, OR IF IT IS FUEL INJECTION OR CARBS IF IT IS CARBS THEY MAY NEED TO BE REMOVED AND CLEANED, OR SIMPLY DRAINED BY THE SCREW ON THE LOWER OF THE FLOAT BOWL,

hi mate on the carb there are 2 screw one for mixture and one for idle you need to unscrew the mixture screw 1/2 of turns and see if this improves

Try the filter in the gas tank.

Sounds like your carb. may be gummed up. Did you start the bike and let the carb. get stabilized fuel into it when you parked it?
