Last Sunday I started my old Kan-o-tuna 750 (1991), it had been parked for the last 4 years or so, can't remember exactly when it was the last time I rode it.

I tried to do the same thing that was done to the C300, even poured carb cleaner (spray) directly into the fuel lines, until I was sure the carb bowls were full of it... Nope, it refused to start.

Had to pull the carbs out and clean the hell out of them... Also had to drain the tank, and don't think that the stuff that came out of it could be called gasoline, it smelled more like paint thinner.

After I cleaned the carbs, put them back in and then tried to start it. Even without tightening the carbs to the intake, the bike fired right up at the first push of the button...

And now that I think of it, I bypassed the clutch switch but never got to put it back to how it was, LOL.
