1998 vulcan 800...sat for a long time(woulnt start)...had the carb cleaned...it runs,but rough...low end in every gear is rough...and i get gas in my air cleaner and sometimes exaust.....bike allways smells gassy...is it time for a new carb?and where is the best place to purchase???

 

Check your filters and vacuum lines, make sure you have fresh high octane gas and run a few tanks through it and see if it smoothes out, sometimes it takes a while to get all the gunk out. Make sure you check all the fuel lines as well, if its a strong gas smell you may have a leak somewhere, dont want to turn into a fireball. Good luck and welcome back to KF!

 

welcome to KF and congrats on your ride.

As mentioned above are always the basics to first check.

Good luck and keep us in the loop.
