lol I’ve had my fair share of experience taking carbed bikes out of hibernation. Sometimes there’s another step in the middle that involves putting the battery back on the charger while you go have lunch and calm down.
With the addition of replacing the battery, the above procedure worked to bring a 1981 CB650C back to life after sitting in a garage for 12 years.
Sometimes you have to combine yelling, praying, and swearing to get maximum effect. “God, please just let this fucking thing START!!!” vroomcoughvroom “Thank you.”
