Re: Need Help with my new SV
Hi and welcome. If it's been sitting for a while I would suspect crud / varnish build up from old fuel in the carbs which is blocking or part-blocking the jets.
Start by giving it a proper service (oil, filter, spark plugs etc) and a carb balance, then see how it goes. Even if the previous owner said it had all been done, I would suggest doing it so you know exactly where you are.
Also check the battery connections are clean and tight. It does sound like the battery might be on its last legs. In cold winter weather, the battery needs to be in good condition to have a chance of starting an SV. But dirty / loose connections can give the same symptoms.
