grsemnky76 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 to start off im new here, this is my first post.. so if im posting in the wrong area or anything, i apologize ahead of time anyways, i just recently got a free 1976 xs360, with 6,xxx miles. the bike was sitting in a garage for over 10yrs... but it seems to be in farely good shape.. almost no rust, paint/decals are in amazing condition and the tires even "seem" to be alright. the lady also said it ran fine when it got put away. i knew it wouldnt fire, so i didnt even try... ive already went ahead and cleaned the gas tank out, removed the battery, pulled the plugs and changed the oil. i figure itll need the carbs cleaned also... just wondering what else i should do before trying to fire it? i dont know awhole lot about bikes, so ill take any tips i can get. thanks.

Moderator drewpy Posted July 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2009 grsemnky76 get some new oil circulating around the engine before you fire it up (take out spark plugs first) gap contacts and time the igntion, other than that ,I reckon you will still have problems with fuel gumming up the carbs!!
