    Hi folks,
    Well, my bike was sitting for about 45 days and started it today. I thought the bike sounded different but started right up. With full choke on the RPM would gradually increase as the engine got hotter. This time the Rpm's did not increase. When I pulled the choke back the bike would stall. Never had this issue before. Any ideas??

    I could ride the bike as long as the choke was 50% engaged.

    Sounds like the pilot jets a plugged up a bit. May want to pluck the carbs off and clean them.

    That may be a little above my pay grade. It that something that a novice could do? Also, is it time consuming? Thanks!
