Default KLX 250S Won't start

Hi,

After jetting the carb last year, I forgot to empty it from gas before letting it sit all winter ( 6 months).

Now the bike won't start and I have drained the battery trying to get it running.

Any tips on a remedy? I'm really lazy and don't want to have to take of the carb and clean etc...

Any tips would be appreciated!

lay it down and let the carb bowl empty on it own, pick it back up, charge the battery, drain the gas and use it for the mower, and keep crankin'
only let it crank for 5-6 sec's at a time.
It won't take long with new gas in the Carb

Hey Wedge,

That worked perfect. Got new gas into the carb and it started right away.

Thanks for the tip!
