Well finally back to my bike (feels like ages have passed). It starts, but barely goes passed idle, won't warm up (I can slowly work it to half choke) and she has a dead battery. So today I added some seafoam (read: I added an entire bottle) and 3/4's of a tank of premium and got her to rev up just a little before my tach crapped out on me. So now the tanks off and I'm preparing to pull the carb for a thorough cleaning because my dumb "insert explicitive of choice" didn't winterized it before disappearing for a while.

Then it started shooting flames out the exhaust pipe and leaking gas through the headers, then school started back up so I drained  the fuel completely and my buddy who owns a power sports shop is going to see if he can figure out the issue, I'll probably rebuild the BSR4's myself then have him use his synch tool to make sure everything is in proper working order, my current guess would be that one of the floats is off, or that one of the floats is getting stuck now. on the bright side though, I'm within 3 weeks of graduation and its coming up on riding season again, and I fully intend on having this bike on the road this season and finishing this build this year
