Angry Winter without Stabilizer!?!?!
My cousin has an early 80's motorcycle and he said he did not put stabilizer in the tank when he put it away. Now the bike does not start! What needs to be done to get it running again? Carburetor cleaning?

I'd start by draining the tank and carb bowl and first flushing, then replacing with fresh gas.

I'd drain the gas, clean the carb, replace fuel lines and any filter. Wouldn't hurt to check the plugs. Welcome from Music City.
