Hi Guys
Had my Fazer in the garage since late October.
I tried to start it yesterday with no joy.
It's turning over, doing all the right things just won't start.
So last night I put the battery on charge, drained the carb bowls, re-set the spark gaps.
This morning it started briefly for a second climbed 7k revs but i couldn't catch it. It died and wouldn't start again.
Now what I'm thinking is when i put it away it was running sweet. I went against my better judgement and wintered it up on a near empty fuel tank.
Has moisture got in to the fuel? The garage is unheated and damp, detached from the house. Maybe i should drain all the fuel and refill with high octane?
Thanks for reading this rambling post
