Hi, after having the motorcycle sat for 2-3 months unexpectedly it doesn't seem to fire up to well/not at all.

The tank was drained and the lines were, battery was put on charge on the day and it sounds like it wants to tick over -- struggles and just about fires up then cuts out instantly.

To me it sounds like fuel starvation, however the tank is full of new petrol when trying and I pumped the throttle a little bit before trying to fire it up with the ignition on.
