I usually dose my tank,carbs etc with Redex injection cleaner

Seems to help

But, regular rides are better

Never less than 10miles

Get the motor HOT

As I've stated previously, I've used StaBil/standard ethanol gas for many years for storage. THIS VERY WEEK I started two Motos - a BMW R1200RS and a Ducati Diavel that had not run for nearly two years!  The batteries had been maintained with Cetek chargers for the entire period.  Both engines started with no trouble/ran fine on the gas in the tanks.

HOWEVER, Although adding StaBil 'after the fact' can't hurt anything, I do not believe it has any cleaning properties that can remove the buildup of corrosion that will occur with untreated gasoline over time.  Frankly, I don't think any "injector cleaner" will accomplish it either though again, it can't hurt to try.  At worst it will do nothing except take time to determine that it didn't work....and then remove the carbs anyway!  :)

Work on the carbs has stalled a bit...was waiting for some float bowl gaskets which i got last night....set the float height (22mm) - re assembled carbs still no fire on no3....is it the jet underneath the float/tang thing thats blocked??

K2-K6:
Spray some ea-z-start into the screw hole for carb sync while it's running, if it chimes in on that cylinder with the auxiliary fuel supply, then you'll know it's the carb, still not and it's the ignition usually.

You're just trying to find if it's fuel or sparks with this method, nothing else.  Once you get an answer, then more focus can be made to rectify.
