How to completely drain the fuel in Fuel Injection Zoomer ?

[dicky]

Hi there,

My poor Zoomer (fuel Injection model) has been neglected for a year or so and been sat in my cold garage, it won't start.

I changed the battery and spark plug. It stared and ran for a few seconds and then died.

I think I need to completely drain the fuel from the tank and anywhere else there might be old fuel in the bike? But how would I go about doing this?

Any advice would be much appreciated as i'm keen to do this myself and learn more about how the bike works.

Anything else you think I should try ?

Thanks in advance people.

Suck most of the fuel from the tank (as much as you can) and top up with fresh gas. It may have a gummed up throttle body so it may need cleaning. The Benzene in gas starts to dissipate after 30 days. This will not let the engine to continue running. The longer the gas sits the worse it gets.
