Storing a Motorcycle Carburetor is not as simple as rolling it into the back of a garage though, at least if you want a effortless start to the new riding season.
It doesn't have to be hard either. Just a few steps and you can insure that your motorcycle will be ready when you are.
The first and most important step would be care of your motorcycle battery. Over time motorcycle batteries slowly discharge.
You might have experienced the effects on your battery after your motorcycle sat for just a week or two. Imagine if you left it alone for an entire winter.
Your battery would surely be dead and depending on its age and condition before storage, it might not ever take a charge again.
Buying and installing a new battery in your motorcycle on the first day of good riding weather is an easily avoidable situation. Keep your motorcycle battery charged.
In the past one would have to charge the battery periodically during the storage period. Today we have battery chargers that offer a low rate of charge only as needed by the battery.
These battery chargers shut off when a full charge is reached as to avoid overcharging and damaging the battery.
Most of these battery chargers supply a 'pigtail' that can be permanently attached to your motorcycle battery, thus making it easier to connect the battery charger.
So convenient that you easily could, and should use the battery charger year Carburetor float round.
