1st gen that's been sitting about 8 months

Hi All,

I left the country for a few months and had to put my '99 VMAX in storage for about 8 months.

Needless to say before doing so I had to drain the tank and pulled the battery...I did also change the oil.

I just put in some fresh fuel with SeaFoam and a nice new battery.

She turns over but I can't get her to start. At first she was pouring fuel from the right side (up from the carbs...it stopped so I didn't exactly see from where).

I don't want to just keep turning her over....Unless that's helpful?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Glenn

you may have some stuck floats. Gently give the float bowls a tap with the handle of the screwdriver or a small rubber mallet.
do a search for the peashooter and shotgun cleaning methods. Its not hard to do and not labor intensive.

Will do - Many Thanks!
