  1. I have a 1988 Radian with 18,000 miles on it. It sat for 2 years, and had the same fuel in it. It ran good 2 years ago, except stalled sometimes at idle. a little choke, or a little throttle fixed this. Last year, the bike was "Sold" and when the new owner picked it up, it stalled 3 miles away. the bike sat for a while , then re-fired and made it back to the home it came from. The seller of the bike replaces the stator and some other stuff, the new owner returned to get the bike again, and the same result. the bike then sat for almot a year... it still had the same gas in it. I got the bike for free and here I am. The battery was charged, the tank and carb bowls were drained, and it stunk of varnish.. the bike would idle for a few minutes though (Don't ask me what it was running on, I dont know. it still smells like the old fuel in it.) I filled the tank with premium fuel, with sea foam added to it, and now it idles with the choke on. even after it warms up (It now runs long enough to warm up) it stalls immediately if the choke is turned off, or if any throttle is applied. I have only had a few ounces of fuel run through it, Running the whole tank will take days... I am prepared to do this if necessary. It idles around 2,000 RPM with the choke on. If i throttle the bike wide open right when it fires it winds up to 4,000 RPM and stays there... Please help!
