    Bike not starting

    mbanham posted a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Hi guys have been having probs and came across this forum. Thought I would try my luck!! First off I have a 1998 Thundercat (First bike) Basically I can't get it to start, it seems to turn over when I press the ignition but nothing is catching. I have checked the battery (fine) and changed the spark plugs (the other ones were filthy). Also put some new petrol in and some cleaner additive. It has been stored for a few months. I have heard about draining the float bowls on the carbs. But to be honest I can't work out where the screw is!! Any help would be much appreciated Thanks, Mark.
