Did you drain the carb bowels several times to get fresh fuel in them? I'd
put lots of Seafoam in the fuel, then drain the carbs at least twice out the
bottom. I use a little plastic hose on one carb bottom at a time and unscrew
the drain screw. You can refill the carbs bowels without cranking the engine
by putting another little hose on the shut off valve where it attaches to the
carbs and by sucking to create a vacuum the fuel will flow. It's worth a try
before you start pulling the carbs off.
Good luck

Hey all,Looking for some suggestions. I have an '83 Nighthawk 650 that
unfortunately sat for a long time with gas in the tank. Now I can't get it to
start. I siphoned out all the old bad gas and put in some new, charged the
battery, but it just turns over until it drains the battery. I haven't ridden
much in the last year and a half, so it sat for a long time. Last time I rode
was in October, but it had been sitting for quite a while before that (with the
same, old gas in the tank). It ran a bit rough at lower RPMs, but I figured
that was just the old gas in it.
Any suggestions on getting this thing to start short of dismantling the carbs
and trying to clean everything out? I'm moderately mechanically inclined, but
I'd rather not have to do that if I don't have to. Just hoping there's some
quick easy things I could try.
