Problems with my PC
Written by pc800dork on 7/14/2010 at 09:55 pm

Even though you emptied the tank, I doubt that ALL of the old gas is out of the
system - yet. With the PC, I would start at the cheap end and work up. I doubt
you will have to replace the carbs - probably just a good cleaning.

Check all the vacuum tubing and make sure it isn't cracked and that the
connections are good.

Check to make sure that the petcock isn't leaking - do you smell gas when it
does run?

There is a fuel pump, but if the bike is running, it is probably okay. My guess
is a lot of cleaning, checking tubes, hoses, seals. Flushing ALL old fluids
out, etc.

Personally, I think your bike is just pissed about being left alone in a garage
with gas in the tank - she will come around when you show her some TLC.
