Hello all,

I have an 82 305 CSR. I haven't ridden in about 5 years and I'd like to get it going again.

I got it all sorted out before I quit riding it and it was running great, but then I had a timing chain tensioner issue and then 2 kids came along. I posted about the chain tensioner in another thread. I just had the carbs rebuilt and I don't run ethanol gas, so I'm not sure what shape they'll be in.

Probably in pretty good shape if the carbs have just been rebuilt. Probably have to get them tuned and synced. Check the tank to make sure there is no debris coming from the tank prior to attaching the fuel to the crarbs. Otherwise, you may need to clean the carbs again if the debris gets to them. You should install a inline fuel filter to avoid this as well. The first time starting it, a two or three shots of starting fluid to each carb bore will help things a long. Best of luck.
