|  starting hard
Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I just purchased a 2000 marauder 800. The previous owner didn't ride it much (only 2000 miles on it). I noticed the gas was old so i drained it and cleaned the tank out. to start it, i had to use some starting fluid. Ran a little rough, rode it a few miles, filled the tank and parked it. The next day, it would not start again. I had to use starting fluid again. I noticed that if i am running the bike and stop it, it will start right back up, but if it sits for an hour or two, will not start easily. today it started after about 20 minutes of trying. my question is, do i need to take the carburators off and clean them? If i add some carb. cleaner and run for 50-60 miles, will that clean it out or is there something else wrong with it not even related to the carburator. also, i did check the fuel pump and it is working properly (according to haynes reapair manual). any help would be great and thanks in advanve. |
