  1. Well for those who read my very first post on this forum I have good news. Looks like the trailer ride was the source of the problems and after a good nights rest and a cleaning of the plugs she fired right up. My first ride was wonderful, its a nice a nimble little machine I will very much enjoy. I look forward to contributing to this forum.
  2. Thanks. I did notice some fuel had dripped onto the trailer bed so I suspect fuel has accumulated in a few parts of the engine.... I'll give it another go and hopefully I will get my first ride tonight.
  3. I'm the new owner of a nice 86 radian. When I went to try it out it started like it was brand new. I strapped it to my trailer and drove it home. Now it won't start. It backfired a couple times and now nothing. I pulled the plugs out, they were a bit wet and dirty so I cleaned them and dried them. I tried starting it without plugs to evacuate any fuel but nothing came out. After replacing the plugs it seemed a bit better for the first couple of tries but now I'm back where I started. Based on other posts I am thinking the carbs may need a cleaning but besides that I'm at a lost. Any help on troubleshooting would be great.
