Rode my s40 last week for the first time in a little over 4 months,charged the battery when I put it under the cover,Stays in my insulated garage attached to the house,Never gets below 35 ,put ounce of sea foam in tank when I put it away,I put it on prime started right up with out charging the battery .Ran it 50 miles it ran fine just like it ran when I put it away.

In Oklahoma we have a law that Gas pumps must say if they're selling ethanol blend or 100% real gas. I always get the real gas.
Winter storage Outside, Full tank of fuel with sta-bil and a little seafoam in it. Bike runs just like it did in Nov when i parked it. I finally burned thru the sta-bil mix a few days ago.
Maybe the ethanol blend is the culprit because not everyone who uses sta-bil has the troubles that the OP is talking about.

some of our local pumps have 10>15% blend some e85(i dont use)
some real unleaded
only additive i use is every 3rd or 4th tank a cap of marvel oil(atf?)
had a fellow rider following me one day and he pulled up to me and said it smelled like i was burin oil..
winter "storage" for me is going out to the carriage house every 10 days or so and lettin er idle till oil comes up to temp..if its above 40 i take a spin if theres no snow built up on the drive(shady all winter)
third winter on my 06 some 13k on the od yet to miss a lick..

Well after changing fuel ,including float bowl, no change.
So I delved into the carb,I took it off the bike and stripped it on the bench, it was a blocked main jet,a little piece of black crud,it was stubborn I coulden't just blow it out,I cranked up my commpressor to 180 psi ,that disloged the offending crud.
Put it all back toggether ,took her out this morning and it ran like a charm.
Thanks for all the info guys, Mick
