So for fun I pulled carbs while I wait for my caps. They were full of crap. Rookie mistake. Caps needed replacing anyways. Excited to see what happens.

Yeah, drain it out and see if there is crap in there.  If yes, you may need to at least flush it out.

New caps, gas, clean carbs and all five fire like gold. Gonna time and make sure it's all good. If it weren't for a predicted 10" of snow, I'd ride.
