Okay last year my petcock messed up and was leaking gas.. I fixed the petcock, replaced inline gas filter, and drained oil, replaced filter. I took her for a ride, and everything was perfect again, and it has sat until now.
Today, I started her up for second this year, and the first ride. . What I noticed after riding a few minutes was I had very bad acceleration. Than I noticed in a stopped position in 1st when taking off, it would want to die and struggle as I gave it acceleration even worse. So, with this detailed timeline, and it riding perfect before it sat, what could have happened, and what are my options.. i'm not a mechanic, but I'll give it shot.
thanks all,
