new and need help asap!!!!! please!!!!

#1 Unread post by suki600 »

i have a 2001 Suzuki gsx600f and it has sat for 8 months has been started or ran.
what do i need to do to get it running in tip top shape.
had some troubles getting it started, once i did the front of the left two carbs was leaking that stopped. then it started running rough.
it idles high then will will act like its getting no gas to the motor and will studder and shut off but will crank back up and then do the same thing.
i have a buddy who rides he told me to clean carbs, change oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs and wires.
he also told to drain old gas, and other fluids and replace.
is there anything else i need to do and or try something different im trying to be up and riding by monday at the latest!

That would be the BASICS of what I would suggest as well. Only things I could add would be:

Check the battery strength
Check the air filter
