I just bought a 2000 Buell Blast Off a friend who I harrased because it only has 3500 original miles on it... I know, a shame. Anyways I have two major problems with it so far. It has sat since 8/08 outside in sunny northeast PA. I drained the gas and put in a new batt. and new spark plug. I also thought that the two black tubes by the left foot peg that one was fuel and one was oil. Well I was wrong, one was oil and one was something very dark with some white in it, and only about a table spoon worth came out.... any ideas about that???

Also now when the key is on and I sit in the seat the electrical shuts off (EVERYTHING) when the seat is off I push around on everything and depress the suspension and it won't do it, only when the seat is on.

My number 2 problem is that I can get it to start if I let it sit for a couple of minutes but soon after it starts (less than one minute) it will come off high idle and then die. I then can not get it to start unless I wait about 5 minutes. It will just turn over and over and over occasionally firing, but not more than twice.

So I guess I have 2 problems and a question.

I am going to pull the carb off this weekend and spray it our because it sounds like something is stuck shut. I pulled air cleaner cover off and everything is SPOTLESS.

Thats all I can think of right now, let me know what you think!!!!!!
THANKS!
