My friend has a 1990 Sportster that she did not ride for about a month. The last time the bike was started it ran out of gas and was parked in a garage for a month. Now after putting some gas in the gas tank the bike starts but idles very low and dies.

I am thinking that the carbs might be clogged and was wondering if some sea foam would be able to fix it without having to rebuild and clean the carbs.

What do you think?

Thanks!
 
sounds like some varnish from the old gas,,,,1990 should be carburetered, Seaform should work good.
 
yep clean the carbs , never let the tank drain out when idling , to much dirt in gas , open the gas line and drain away
