Just got a 125 2t what’s been sitting for 8 years!!!help needed

Hi everybody I’m new to this forum just picked up a typhoon 125 xr from 2003 it’s not starting and the carb looks like it’s been played with any suggestions as it’s been sitting in a shed for 8 years!!! The electrics work but carb looks like someone’s had a go at getting it started any suggestions will post more pics if need be thank you.

 

Anyone out there can help?

 

I owned one of these for 7 years had clocked 30.000 miles when I sold it. great bike they command a lot of money those typhoons. Drain the tank clean carb float bowl fresh fuel new plug that’ll fire rite up

 

I’ve tried to drain it completely and it still has petrol in the bottom of the tank I took out the fuel pipes etc but there still seems to be petrol in the tank

 

Remove the fuel tap from the tank if you need to completely empty it

 

Does The carb look like it’s missing anything I’m having a hard time with this bloody thing

 

Does anyone know what tube this is called and is this one Ebay the same one ?? Mines ripped

 

How comes there are 3 tubes one connected to the carb from airbox and one connected to the airbox which is in picture and then another one which is the breather pipe

 

See if it sparks, if it does, Spray some easy start in the carb and turn the key on and kick start it if it has one. It will work off the easy start if the engine is at least able to run. If it does run off easy start your carb is probably at fault and it'll save you hours of hassle and bother if the engine is no good anyway.

 

Did you get it started?

 

I haven’t I might be thinking of selling it

 

Clean the carb, new spark plug and see how it goes.

 

I’m going to give it a go thanks scuba

 

Want a step by step?
I cant speak exactly for that bike, but ive done thousands of carbs over the years...
