Hi Triumph (what you doing with a Yam with that name?),
Suggest you take a look here:- http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...al-stuff-27640 It has some useful advice about starting bikes - good basic stuff. You don't say very much about the machine; I suggest that you post as much as you know, factual stuff - mileage, history that type of thing - then others will be able to identify with what is going on (or not going on!). One thought is; put fresh fuel in the tank. BTW.
