did you drain the fuel line is the fuel pump electric you may be able to disconnect fuel line near engine and pump fresh fuel through the fuel line by powering the fuel pump while putting the old fuel in the lines into a fuel container.
hi. if it has not been started in 3 years then a new spark plug would probably be a good idea, but not essential if the old one is cleaned. 3 year old fuel should be drained and is pretty much no use for anything. you may be able to start a bonfire with it, but i would not even try to run a machine on it after 3 years. it would also be a good idea to change the oil and clean the air filter. the battery will almost certainly need changing as well. there should not be any major problems though. hope this helps
Your bike has been sitting in storage and the fuel is too old ad is stale by now .
Re open the carby , clean it properly with new fuel , all the jets need to be inspected for dirt or residue left by the old fuel , drain all the fuel out of the tank and replace it by new fuel .
The old fuel leaves a deposit film which needs to be clean so the best way is to pour a little fuel into your tank , shake the tank to clean it and drain it again .
Make sure that all gasket in the carby are clean or new as extra air intake will make the bike run rough .
Try all this and you will see that the bike will run better .
fuel filter housing on driver side of motor. need the correct size of socket to remove the lid. unscrew lid and pull straight up to remove filter. remove old filter from lid and install new filter and seal. drain old fuel/water from housing. then reinstall filter into housing. tigthten lid then make sure the petcock is closed from draining it earlier. bump the starter a couple times to fill the filter housing then start engine. clean any spilled fuel and your done
check if you have a drain plug in your fuel tank, if none, then there is no easy way but to bring down the whole tank and remove the old fuel. be careful in handling fuel.
If it's the front seal, You have to remove the yoke and pull old seal out and tap in a new one. If it's the cover seal, remove bolts, drain fluid, clean off old gasket, install new gasket with a film of sealant and re-install.
