a guy down the street has some kid of cruiser motor cycle and hasnt started it in 4 years and he tried to start it the other day and it wouldnt start so he put in new plugs and it only runs on 2 cylinders. if i fix it i get 200 bills. i figure theres gum in the carbs that need the be cleaned out. any one have any other ideas, i know prety much everything about single carbed 4 strokes on quad and dirt bikes and im guessing its all the same on motorcycles or is there something else besides the carb, fuel petcock and lines that i should check out. ill also check to make sure the 2 cylinders that arent running are igniting their plugs. any tips would be great

id say you probably know about everything to look for but one thing that always gets me is the battery not being charged to the fullest.
