Clean the carbs, points, and all electrical contacts. Used a touch of starter fluid and she LIVES.
First time she has run since 1993.
Could not run her to long as the fuel tee's are leaking but at least I know she runs!
Thanks for the forum members,

My bike hadn't ran since 92 until last year and the fuel T's leaked when I got her started.
I bought new ones to put in but after a little while the old ones stopped leaking and have held up fine for over 7000 miles.
I figure don't fix what ain't broke so I left them in.
My guess is that they dried out over the years and shrunk a bit and the fresh fuel must have swelled them back up again.
Your bike is looking really nice Peter.

I had a very similar experience. I drained all fuel from carbs and removed tank to bring bike into basement over the winter to replace steering stem bearings and some other stuff. When Spring came I took bike outside and started it and the fuel "T" leaked quite a lot. The next day when I checked - zero leakage; I guess something swelled up and sealed the leak. That was 5 years / 8,000 miles ago and it has not leaked a single drop since. Ed
