    Was good until last week

    So my 80 SG was running good when I put it away in November last year. Many things have happened since-Mother was in and out of the hospital and rehabilitation trying to regain her strength to move better. I changed jobs back in mid June, and have had shoulder issues for years that have kind of put a kink in my riding.I drained the carbs last year and kept the battery on a trickle charger. I went to start the bike last week and it started and warmed up fine but started popping when I was riding. The carbs were taken off, and I removed all the float bowls and have started to clean things up. I suspect the pilots were dirty so thye will be soaked in carb dip. I have all day tomorrow to work on the bike so will get it done.

    Pete, The one thing these bikes don't like is sitting still. Of course you are already well aware of that. If I remember correctly, you don't have ethanol free gas readily available to you where you are.
