I just picked up this hidden treasure 1997 CBR 900RR with just under 11k on the clock today. Its as close to perfect as it can be. All stock minus the flush mounted fronts and hidden rear turn signals. Enough of the good and on to the bad. Its been sitting for the last 4 years with gas in the tank. I drained the tank, changed the oil, slapped in a new battery and fired it up. It runs really rough and has to have the choke fully engaged and even then if I give it any throttle it dies. I was hoping once I got past the remnents of the old gas it would clear up but no such luck.

I'm happy to be here and look forward to all your expert advice.
