Title: 9 Years In Storage
Post by digitaltrucker on 05/21/25 at 11:49:17

Walp, gonna see if I can breathe life into my '03. It hasn't run in nine years but was running fine when I parked it. Currently vinegaring the tank and waiting for a new petcock to arrive. It cranks over so I don't doubt she'll run.

Howdy.

I'd pull the spark plug and spray some fogging oil in there if it's been stting in storage for 9 years. I'm surprised it turns over and isn't seized.

Vinegar (or varnish stew) in the tank. I can only imagine what the inside of the carb looks like.

Good luck. Keep us posted.
