:dunno: Right before I was to return home from 1st tour, a 1997 1100 Stx was purchased for me as a home coming present. I was then told that I had to stay another 8 months and just got back. So here is my problem. When the STX was first purchased, my brother rode it and everything was fine. When he found out I was not going to be home for a while, he ran fuel stabalizer through it, covered it, and let it sit in hs driveway (8-9 months). When I went to sart it all I got was a clunking sound. I could not tell if it was coming from the starter or cylinder heads. I primed the carbs and still nothing. It really sounds like a bent crank rod, but how could that be from just sitting? Could it be hydrolock, and if so, how could that have happened from sitting? Anyway to test the starter with it in the ski? (tight fit) or do I need to remove parts to get to it?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
