    Stored for eight years - won't start

    Thanks everyone. Compression is good but I'll try the drillings next. Sigh! This must be the third carb strip.

    Dear all, My poor old XJ900 has been standing for eight years and it's time to use it again. I've cleaned out all of the carbs, jets, float bowls and all moving parts seem to be OK. Fuel is getting to the float bowls but she just won't start. Coughs a few times on full choke but that's it. She will run a bit on a sniff of fuel directly into the carbs so I know that the mechanical bits work. I don't think that any fuel is getting to the cylinders so I must have missed something blocked? Any ideas?
