    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Have you flushed the carbs?
    You could have an air lock in the fuel supply.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    If you've had unleaded in the carbs for the the last 8 months chances are they're all gummed up and need cleaning.
