Did this to a 30 year old motorcycle that was sitting for about 8 years and it still runs tip top. Also had a guy give me a 7.5h.p. power washer, I stored it for 5 years till I got around to it, drained old gas, "Pinesol" soak over night, put it together, and she starts on the first pull every time.

Thanks for the advice on the pinesol! I will keep that in mind, but as of right now everything is running great. The thing has tons of power. My girlfriend's brother (the guy I bought it from) said it runs better now than what it did when he had it, of which was because he never cleaned the carb

Oh, by the way, Seafoam goes in all my small engines all the time. Lawn mower, Weed wacker, Snow blower, Chain saw, power washer, boat motor, motorcycle,...... it's easier then pulling and soaking bad gas out of the carbs.
