Okay. Update. I did add some gas additive to it, and drained the carbs, then primed it, etc.

I started up my bike. Yay, it turned over! Unfortunately, it really wouldn't stay started, like it was cold.

I realized that it wasn't really the carbs. It was having a hard time starting because it would start sometimes, but not all the time..and I had to press really hard on the start button. My battery also had no fluids in it, so I added some water since I had no acid, then I charged it over night.

More progress to come, when I get off of work.

Okay. Here's my update!!
I'm very happy to say, I successfully charged my battery, took off my tank, without draining it, put in a new spark plug, and replaced all of my hoses with no problem. However, I can't believe there isn't one store near me that carries "jesus keepers".  Angry
I Plugged everything back in this morning, and started it up..results??

YAY! She's running!  Cheesy I'm giving the battery one more good charge tonight to see if I have any problems with the start again. I didn't have a problem with my bike staying running after I put everything back together and replaced the hoses. I also tightened down a LOT of loose screws that hold together the air..breather...tube thing.   Huh

Needless to say, I'm very happy about the progress of my bike, and I'm more happy about doing it myself. Next weekend, I will be replacing my stock seat, and possibly replacing my stock rear shocks with Progressives.
Does anyone know what shocks I will need to get?
