I was given a 1980 yamaha 650 special 11. I got it started by squirting fuel into the carbs. It fires then dies after a few seconds. I cleaned the carbs and made sure the floats weren\´t stuck. But it seems like its starving for gas. Its been sitting since 03,And it lookes like someone attempted to pull the carbs before me but didnt finish. Any ideas? Thanks. Josh
