My 95 Suzuki Intruder motorcycle won't start after 1 year in storage.?

Question

I changed spark plugs, charged new batteries, drained old gas, and added new gas with some additives. It only gets three revs with the choke on and then dies out.

Answer 1

If there was fuel in the float bowl for that entire year you have clogged pilot jets (possibly even clogged mains) and will need a thorough carb cleaning.

Answer 2

take your carbs apart and clean them the jets are probably clogged

Answer 3

I have the Suzuki S83( same as Intruder 1400) . I don`t know your answer to your problem but , I belong to Intruderalert.com a forum for Suzuki motorcycles . There are a lot of people on that forum that are very knowledgeable on the Intruder . I urge you to join that forum and post your question there .

Answer 4

Sounds like  the carbs are  gummed up. Especially the Idle Circuits, that's why it won't idle. Time for a carb teardown and cleaning. I have heard good things about intruderalert.com, maybe You can get some advice there.

Answer 5

check for a clogged air filter or exhaust

a little mouse might have made a home in the air filter, or in the exhaust pipe

Answer 6

Try cleaning the carbs that could help.
