Default Hard-start technique

My bike had been down for a little while so when I tried to fire her back up the mediocre fuel that I had in the tank and lines has kinna gummed up in the jets. This will happen occasionally with any bike left to the weather's devices...a light layer of film will develop over the jet nozzles, similar to like what happens if you let condensed soup sit a while after you cook it or with gravy...no fuel gets by.

An easy fix to this is to completely obstruct any air into the block. After the massive vacuum pulls without success it'll start sucking the fuel and gum out of the jets. Works great. Doing this on each of my carbs get my FZ600 fired right up and running beautifully.
