At the time I was not aware of the ethanol effects.
Results: Difficult to start up, uneven running engine, hard to pick up power particularly noticeable at low/mid rpm.
Carbs were dirty but fortunately there was no corrosion nor damaged seals, and the engine was running fine again after a cleaning and putting in a new fuel filter.
I would consider to take a look at that as well when you service the bike, especially if it has a history of using gasoline with ethanol, combined with long periods of winter storage, which I assume are usual in Norway.
I'll check that. Thanks for the tip
