2004 1200 XL runs sluggish

[sanec1]

Refuel it now and see if that helps. If it ran fine in the fall it sounds like condensation in the tank.

When you say You Stored It??

does this mean you turned OFF the pet-cox and or ran the gas out of the carb to minimize varnish build up ???

How many Mos. did it actually sit?

YES get the gas OUT and re-fill with High octane... Run a LITTLE sea-foam thru it as a cleaner then put some miles on it..

You surly Don't want to take the carb apart until you have to,,,do you?..

Just My thoughts.

SIR BUBBIE has you covered, all you need to do is drain the float bowl in a clean glass, and use your nose...if fuel is dirty or smells like old varnish try draining the ENTIRE fuel system and refill with some fresh high octane fuel with proper concentration of Sea Foam or GumOut and run it long enough at various speeds to hopefully clean without having to disassemble and rebuild the carb.:51:

If you look between the cylinders you will see a screw on the carb, that is the float bowl screw, there should be a hose hanging down the frame to catch the gas:s
