:iagree: All the crap that is added to "today's gasoline formula" isn't any good for older bikes ( and especially boats ).

If it were mine, I'd drain that gas and get premium from another gas station. Drain the fuel bowls if you can too. If you can afford the extra $$, a couple gallons of leaded race fuel might help ( at least it would remove gasoline as the problem).

Finally got her home after three nights out in the lot. Ripped the tank, airbox, and filter off. Plugged her into the tender, so we'll see if it rolls over tomorrow. If the starter is rolling the motor over but I'm not getting fire, I'm pulling the carbs and taking them in. I've been putting off getting them professionally cleaned and synced for a couple months now, so there is no better time I guess. Might as well check the plugs too, and then go from there... :idk:

seriously, try to fix the problem at hand first, then go tearing into carbs that work so you know where the problem is. You dont want to be stuck with a bike that isn't working, has conflicting symptoms from multiple issues. That will create more headaches than you want to deal with.

Once you do get it fired up, and it runs we can talk about syncing your carbs, a very easy task that takes a few minutes of work and some home made ingenuity.

Tommorrow, dump the fuel, try new fuel and go from there. Then on Wedensday we can teach you how to sync your carbs using this doohickey

I wouldn't "get there," Do it first. I'm with the rest of them - do that first and see if it fixes the problem. Otherwise, you're just chasing gremlins. OR, compounding problems.
