Hi all. I have a year 2000 Honda Rancher 4x4 350. It is in great shape but hasn't been run in a few years - it's been sitting inside my garage. Just put a new battery in but it won't start. The cranking part goes just fine now that I have a new battery, the engine just won't fire.
The tank has about 1/3 tank and the gas is bad - no products were added when I stored the bike. Wanted to drain the tank so I removed the fuel line from the carb and nothing came out, even though the fuel valve was turned to "on".
I tried to blow into the fuel line while the valve was turned to on but I couldn't get air to blow into the line. It appears to be clogged upstream somewhere.
What would you recommend for next steps? I know I need to get that fuel out and likely do something to unclog whatever is preventing fuel from traveling down that line. Any advice would be VERY appreciated.
