Thanks for everyone’s input.

I bought the bike yesterday. After dumping some fresh gas in the tank, and letting the bike idle for about 30 minutes in 45F weather, I was able to ride the bike home. It still is not running extremely well, but well enough to ride it. The engine sputters a bit until the RPMs get above 6000 or so, then it seems fine. It made for a tricky ride home with all the stoplights, etc.

I put some Sta-Bil in the tank of fresh gas so hopefully that will prevent more gunk build-up until I can either get the bike serviced or work on it myself.

It’s sad that I got the bike at the end of the riding season, but at least I got a good deal on it!
