Default Rincon

So I have a rincon that sat for a little bit in a temp controllled area. I drained the gas from the tank and put a new battery. I forgot to tirn the fuel back on when I started it ran normal for a few minutes then shut off. So now I turned the fuel back on but can't get it to start. The gas I put in was sitting outside at like 30 degrees. Bike is sitting inside 70 degrees.

Ethanol. Great stuff. Gasoline is prone to "gunk up" sitting in the tank and carb or throttle body. You didn't say how long your machine was idle, but if it was over 60 days, then there is a chance it got gummed up.

Gasoline additives called stabilizers can help prevent this. Some people say Sea Foam can help clear out the gunk and get you going again.

Ok thanks guys. Since I last posted I am able to get it to run for a few seconds. But now the battery is drained. So I have to charge up again. I didn't dump some gas enzyme stuff in so hopefully I am on my way to get it going

Proceed with carb cleaning anyway just to be sure, you don't know if something clogged up on it and around the line.
